cabin attendant?

Question

Is 'cabin attendant' (meant to mean 'flight attendant') pseudo-English coined in Japan? Do you use it in your country or can you understand its meaning easily?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

I have heard it and yes in Canada.  Other variants are used as well, like cabin crew, flight attendants, flight personnel, and so on.

Answer 2

In the US, this often refers to the person who services a cabin on board a ship.

Answer 3

Nope.  Can't say it is used here in Canada.  People would slip the old non politically correct term "stewardess" in before ever coming up with cabin attendant.
