then the captain under training will not<br />
learn how to dock the aircraft when<br />
Raeef does that.<br />
“Hahaha, yes I know. I’m not allowed<br />
to do that but I sometimes forget if we<br />
are late for lunch or only have a short<br />
break,” says Raeef while he laughs.<br />
As the day is coming to an end around<br />
5 to 6 pm Raeef will either be back<br />
in Male’ at the base or he will be at a<br />
resort for an overnight. On average 4<br />
to 8 of <strong>Maldivian</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Taxi</strong>’s seaplanes<br />
stay at a resort every night. This is so<br />
that early next morning they can return<br />
with passengers who need to catch<br />
the international morning flights out of<br />
Male.<br />
To become a cabin attendant one starts out as a dockhand at the base in Male. From<br />
there one continues through classes of emergency training, evacuation, crew relation<br />
management, first aid and aircraft handling before being released for flying with an instructor.<br />
After minimum 25 hours of flying, the new cabin attendant is released for flights by himself.<br />
