Cabin Crew Life Simulator News

Hello cabin Crew !

In emergency situations, cabin crew are considered the eyes and ears of the pilots in the passenger cabin. They directly inform the pilots of any developments in the cabin. If the crew detects a serious safety issue (such as an uncontrollable passenger or a fire in the cabin), they can report it to the pilots and request consideration for an emergency landing.



Initially, we used an iPad for communication with pilots or to send automated announcements to passengers. This approach created a sense of convenience for players and centralized the buttons on a single control panel. These buttons are still available in the Demo version.

However, many members of our Discord community suggested using the interphone as the primary communication tool. So, what is an interphone?



[h2]What is an Interphone?[/h2]

The interphone (an internal communication system on an aircraft) is a critical device used for communication among crew members or between the cockpit and the cabin. It is an essential tool to ensure smooth operations and safety throughout the flight.

[h2]Key Functions of the Interphone[/h2]

1. Calling Between Locations: Cabin crew can call each other between cabin areas or call the cockpit to exchange information.
   
2. Emergency Announcements: Used to relay emergency situations (e.g., evacuation, emergency landing, or fire).
   
3. Passenger Communication: Integrated with the system so passengers can press the call button from their seats to reach a crew member.
   
4. System Check: Crew members use it pre-flight to ensure communication devices are functioning correctly.
   

In the Cabin Crew Life Simulator game, we designed the interphone to be user-friendly while preserving the auditory and tactile experience of a real-life cabin crew member.



[h2]Buttons Available on the Interphone[/h2]

• CAPT (Captain/Cockpit): Calls the cockpit where the captain and first officer work. You’ll use this button to request pilots to handle aircraft taxing, takeoff, or landing.
  
• EMER (Emergency): Activates the emergency mode. Pressing it typically triggers an alert sound (bell or flashing light) at the receiving locations, signaling an important message.
  
• PA (Public Address): Used to make announcements over the aircraft’s speaker system. Typically for delivering safety instructions or announcing in-flight meals to passengers.
  
• ALLATTND (All Attendants): Calls all cabin and cockpit locations simultaneously. Use this button to announce passenger boarding preparation or report damaged safety equipment.
  
• RESET: Ends a call or resets the system to be ready for the next use.
  

We’ll guide you thoroughly to help you familiarize yourself with this crucial device. However, as you progress to higher levels, the instructions will no longer be available. Every button press represents a command, and if you press the wrong one, we can’t guarantee what might happen to your passengers and crew.

As this might be the last of our devlogs this year we'd also like to take a second to wish you all great holidays and fantastic Happy New Year!

We're going to enter the year of 2025 with renewed energy and even more ideas and fun features that you might hope for - Good luck, and have a safe flight!

Hi Cabin Crew!

We hope you have been enjoying the things we have been talking about up until this point and we will have much more to share in the future. If you’re new here, don’t forget to join our Discord channel to stay up to date with the latest news from our team regarding Cabin Crew Life Simulator as well as our other projects.

As the name of the game suggests, you won’t be able to serve passengers without the help of the cabin crew. Especially on larger planes, the number of passengers increases, and so does the list of tasks. We have plans to implement a multiplayer mode in version 1.0, but for now, let’s talk about your AI colleagues. What tasks can they handle?



We’ve spent over three months perfecting the AI features, and we’re still improving them. It’s a challenging task, as flight attendants have to work in the tight space of the galley, both on the ground and at altitudes over 30,000 feet. Assigning tasks to each AI is quite complex, requiring us to divide the cabin into clear zones, just like real-life flight attendants do.

In the EA version, when you reach the Senior level, you’ll be assigned to work alongside other attendants, both male and female, from various countries. Each one will have a brief introduction for you to learn more about your colleagues. And of course, the crew members are assigned randomly—you won’t be able to hire or freely choose them like in other professions.


[h2]What tasks can they help you with?[/h2]

[h2]Ticket Checking:[/h2]

When the airline requires ticket checks, you can assign them to verify passengers’ tickets at the gate before boarding. During this time, you can focus on other tasks such as inspecting safety equipment or preparing the galley. But keep in mind, they can make mistakes too.



[h2]Safety Checks:[/h2]

While you’re inspecting the lavatories or handling cargo, you can assign a flight attendant to conduct passenger safety checks, ensuring seat belts are fastened or tray tables are stowed.



[h2]Cargo Handling:[/h2]

For larger aircraft with a substantial amount of cargo, moving everything from the catering truck by yourself can take a long time. That’s why you can assign some attendants to take on this task.



[h2]Safety Demonstrations:[/h2]

Naturally, after passengers have boarded, you and the crew need to conduct the safety demonstration. For this task, we’ve included a small minigame requiring you to perform certain actions before the attendants present the safety instructions.

[h2]Passenger Service:[/h2]

You’ll assign zones to the attendants for service. For example, if the plane has three sections (front, middle, and rear), you might handle the front section while other attendants cover the middle and rear sections.



[h2]Trash Collection:[/h2]

While you conduct pre-landing safety checks, other attendants can help collect trash from passengers quickly.

[h2]A Small Challenge:[/h2]

However, there’s one thing that might disappoint you a bit. Not every attendant will work diligently or follow your instructions. Some may just sit there and refuse to perform tasks. You can submit performance evaluations for attendants after each flight. Finally, we encourage you to offer a small bonus to boost their productivity, ensuring a safe flight and excellent service for passengers. Doesn’t that sound better?

Hello Cabin Crew !

In the previous section, you learned more about the scoring mechanics and how to advance quickly. Ensuring flight safety is the top priority, so you must carefully inspect safety equipment and operate the galley correctly.

The rest is all about service. The better the service, the more rewards you’ll earn, and the faster you’ll advance.

- So how can you satisfy customers on every flight to receive the best reviews and well-deserved bonuses?



Compared to most simulator games, customers/NPCs typically perform pre-programmed actions, and when you serve them correctly, they simply leave, making way for the next customer.

But in Cabin Crew Life Simulator, passengers are much more demanding. Each passenger has their own personality, voice, and unique attributes. In the free DEMO available on Steam, passengers might compliment your appearance if you meet their needs but could also complain if you forget or fail to serve them properly.

In the Early Access version, we’ve added a review system. If your actions annoy passengers, they will leave negative reviews about your service, potentially causing you to lose all rewards for that flight.

Passenger needs will vary on every flight. Some may be noisy, others prone to air sickness, some will constantly want your attention, or might have health issues. Pay attention to their signals and address their needs promptly to ensure a safe and pleasant flight.

Passengers can also cheat, so don’t trust anyone blindly. They may use fake tickets to sneak onto the flight or simply make honest mistakes. Always double-check their tickets when the airline requires it before they board.


[h2]1. Ensure Passenger Safety[/h2]

Of course, safety first. Always verify safety regulations before takeoff and landing. Make sure passengers are seated with their seatbelts fastened, tray tables stowed, and window shades open.
Any items obstructing aisles or pathways must be removed or stored properly.

Avoid asking passengers to perform unnecessary actions, such as telling them to unfasten seatbelts when they’re already secure. This will irritate them and result in a penalty to your performance.



[h2]2. Handle Issues Promptly[/h2]

When problems arise, assist passengers as quickly as possible. They may ask for additional meals after the service period has ended or bombard you with silly questions. Always stay calm and maintain a smile.
Some passengers may even try to open the aircraft door or cause a disturbance. You must quickly restrain them and report the incident to airport security for immediate handling upon landing.

For passengers with medical emergencies, provide first aid quickly and accurately. In severe cases, you may need to request an emergency landing if their condition doesn’t improve.



[h2]3. Don’t Bother Passengers[/h2]

Avoid asking passengers to repeat actions they’ve already done correctly. As mentioned above, mistakes like this will annoy them.
Ensure the cabin remains quiet. If any passenger disrupts or disturbs others, deal with the situation promptly to protect the experience of other passengers.



[h2]4. Provide Professional Service[/h2]

Preparing the menu before the flight is crucial. Ensure the stock of food and drinks is sufficient, and choose the right menu items for the flight. If a passenger requests something but it’s out of stock, they will be dissatisfied and leave negative reviews.

Serve food and drinks promptly. Making passengers wait too long is a major service failure. Always observe your surroundings and respond quickly to their needs.

Wouldn’t you feel annoyed if you ordered beer but were served soda instead? Of course, you would—I would too! And passengers on the plane feel the same way. So, never give them items they didn’t request.



[h2]5. Additional Services[/h2]

You can purchase optional services like Wi-Fi or welcome kits to give to passengers for free. Everyone loves freebies, of course! You can find these items in the Market app.

On luxury flights, you can spend some money to give each passenger a pair of headphones or an amenity kit from a premium fashion brand, which will make them happy and more forgiving of your mistakes.

If you put customers at the center of your focus and pay attention to their needs, you’ll undoubtedly become Employee of the Month and a worthy representative of the airline. It’s not too hard, right?

If you’re new here, don’t forget to join our Discord channel to stay up to date with the latest news from our team regarding Cabin Crew Life Simulator as well as our other projects.

Continuing from our previous discussion on ranks and levels in Cabin Crew Life Simulator, today we’ll dive deeper into the scoring mechanics and how to quickly level up while ensuring safe flights and keeping passengers satisfied.

As always: Safety comes first, and service comes second.

[h2]How Is Your Flight Scored?[/h2]

All your actions are tracked and evaluated by the airline. The primary focus remains on ensuring all safety procedures are followed correctly, which accounts for 60% of your total flight score. The remaining 40% is based on your service quality.

While actual flights may include additional tasks depending on the aircraft types and airline, we’ve streamlined the core activities for simplicity and ease of gameplay. Below are the key activities:

Safety Activities:

1. Inspect the quality of safety equipment.
   
2. Verify passengers’ tickets before boarding.
   
3. Ensure proper closure of aircraft doors.
   
4. Keep items organized and secured in the galley.
   
5. Properly store trolleys in their designated safety positions.
   
6. Ensure aisles are free of obstructions.
   
7. Secure overhead bins throughout the flight.
   
8. During taxi, takeoff, and landing, confirm passengers are:
   

• Fasten seatbelts.
  
• Folding their tray tables.
  
• Opening window shades.

Service Activities:

1. Serve food and drinks according to passenger requests.
   
2. Avoid issuing incorrect commands to passengers (e.g., telling a seated passenger to unbuckle their seatbelt unnecessarily).
   
3. Quickly address passenger concerns when they arise.
   
4. Greet passengers warmly during boarding and bid them farewell during deboarding.
   

[h2]How Much Can You Earn Per Flight?[/h2]

Your earnings depend on several factors: the aircraft type, number of passengers, and the total number of violations during a flight. Your earnings can be positive or even negative! Here’s how it’s calculated:

Earnings Formula:

= (Total Flight Minutes × Level Ratio × Aircraft Average Pay) + Passenger Bonus + In-Flight Sales Revenue − Safety Violations Penalties.

The higher your level, the larger the aircraft, and the longer the flight, the greater your potential earnings. Additionally:

1. Passenger Bonus: You earn a set amount for each passenger served.
   
2. Penalties: Safety violations can result in significant fines.
   
3. In-Flight Sales Revenue: Profits from items sold during the flight contribute to your income.
   
4. summary
   

[h2]Can You Prolong Flights for More Earnings?[/h2]

Yes, since earnings are tied to flight duration, longer flights can increase your income. However:

1. Time Limit: Flights have a maximum allowable duration, so you can’t extend indefinitely.
   
2. Reputation Impact: Delaying flights unnecessarily reduces your reputation score, as passengers become frustrated and tired.
   

[h2]How Does Reputation Affect Gameplay?[/h2]

Much like EXP points, your Reputation score is critical for progression. To rank up, you’ll need to level up and meet certain reputation thresholds.

Reputation Score Criteria:

Your reputation reflects your professionalism, service attitude, and passenger satisfaction. Poor service or unnecessary delays lower your reputation.

Consequences of Low Reputation:

• Dissatisfied passengers will leave negative reviews.
  
• Prolonged delays result in unhappy passengers and a worse overall experience.
  

[h2]Passenger Reviews[/h2]

After each flight, passengers will provide feedback. While most feedback is constructive, you may occasionally encounter harsh or rude comments if service doesn’t meet expectations. This mirrors the challenges of working in a high-pressure, demanding cabin crew’s job.

Stay tuned for the next installment, where we’ll delve deeper into customer service mechanics. Get ready to explore the art of passenger satisfaction!
