When you travel on a commercial flight, one experience is common on every trip. The polite, smiling faces of the flight attendants greet all passengers before the flight takes off. While most think this is how all service industry employees are raised, the real reason flight attendants greet people at the plane door is much more complicated.

The reason flight attendants stare at passengers boarding a flight is not to judge their choice of flight attire. The TikToker revealed: “So when you walk on the plane and see our happy, smiling face, we’re actually looking you up and down and trying to find our ABPs.”
She explained, “And that’s called our people or able-bodied person, so these are people who will help us in an emergency.”
Apart from the ABP, they are also on the hunt for other troublemakers. She revealed: “But we’re also looking for one more thing: in addition to looking for things that don’t belong on the plane, like a box full of liquids, we’re looking for human trafficking.”
The Tiktoker user noted: “A lot happens in the industry and the safety of our passengers is our number one priority.”
