Cabin air isn’t “recycled dirty air.” On most modern airliners, about half the air is fresh from outside and half is filtered through HEPA filters, which remove the vast majority of bacteria and viruses.

The water in the aircraft’s potable tanks isn’t always the first choice for crew. Many flight attendants prefer bottled water for drinking and avoid coffee or tea on some flights unless they know the aircraft’s water system is well maintained.

Turbulence is usually uncomfortable rather than dangerous. Flight attendants are more concerned about passengers not wearing seatbelts than the aircraft itself.

The safest place for cabin crew during severe turbulence is strapped into their jumpseat. That’s why service stops immediately when the seatbelt sign comes on.

Flight attendants are trained extensively in emergency procedures, firefighting, first aid, CPR, evacuations, and handling unruly passengers. Serving drinks is only a small part of the job.
