Ranking System and Career Progression in Cabin Crew Life Simulator - Devlog #5

Hello everyone, it's me, Simon - the lead developer of the game Cabin Crew Life Simulator. Welcome to my fourth blog post for Cabin Crew Life Simulator !

I hope you have been enjoying the things we have been talking about up until this point and I 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!

Today, I’ll reveal the ranking and leveling system in the game Cabin Crew Life Simulator:

Cabin Crew’s Level:

Your experience points (EXP) are calculated after completing each flight. You must archive the required EXP to level up. Typically, for every 2 levels you gain, combined with maintaining a good reputation score, you will be eligible to request a promotion from your airline. Being promoted unlocks new opportunities, such as increased income, access to larger and more modern aircraft, diverse events, and working with highly skilled colleagues. However, if you neglect your duties or make too many mistakes during flights, your progression will slow significantly.

Mistakes could include forgetting to arm the doors before the plane moves, failing to remind passengers to fasten their seat belts, or serving the wrong meals and drinks... All these errors will be clearly displayed on the Flight Summary board after each flight.
So, serve passengers diligently and attentively if you don’t want to stagnate in your rank and settle for a low paycheck.

Cabin Crew’s Ranking

Cabin crew rankings in the airline industry can vary depending on the policies and organizational structure of each airline. However, most airlines follow a common ranking system, which we’ve compiled and incorporated into Cabin Crew Life Simulator. Here’s how it works:

Trainee Cabin Crew:

This is the entry-level rank in the game, where you will become familiar with the initial tasks of newly recruited flight attendants. Smaller aircraft, such as the Embraer ERJ-145, will be the ideal choice for your training. You will learn how to inspect safety equipment, ensure passenger safety, and operate some basic devices on the aircraft.

Junior Cabin Crew:

After completing the first rank, you will be promoted to Junior Cabin Crew. You will transition to newer aircraft with more passengers, such as the Bombardier CRJ700 or Embraer ERJ-175. Some new galley equipment will also be introduced, such as the FAP system we mentioned earlier, refrigerators, or the ability to sell items and handle payments onboard. Your tasks will become more diverse, including checking smoke detectors and conducting safety demonstrations for passengers.

Senior Cabin Crew:

This is the role for truly experienced flight attendants. Upon reaching this rank, you will work closely with your AI crew, guiding and assigning them tasks. You will also supervise and evaluate their performance after each flight. The number of passengers you need to serve will increase, as will the size of the aircraft. Aircraft like the Airbus A220-300 will become your new workspace. Passengers will also be more demanding, but you will have a wider selection in the menu to keep them satisfied.

Purser Cabin Crew:

In real life, achieving this rank often requires 5-7 years of experience in the airline industry. There’s a common misconception that higher ranks are always assigned to serve Business or First Class cabins, but that’s not always the case. Even Junior Cabin Crew members can perfectly serve Business Class passengers. Your job is to accurately assess the capabilities of your crew members and assign tasks accordingly to reduce your workload. At this level, you can introduce special services onboard, such as welcome kits or free Wi-Fi, to enhance the passenger experience.

Chief Purser:

This is the highest rank in cabin crew, where you have full authority over the cabin and act as the pilot’s eyes and ears. You will also be responsible for the safety and satisfaction of all passengers. Large aircraft like the Airbus A340-300 or even the Queen of the Skies, the Boeing 747, will be your workplace in the skies. High-end services will also be introduced, such as lounge bars and special meals, to cater to elite and discerning passengers.

Celebration for Promotion

To honor your efforts and dedication, each promotion will be celebrated with a special ceremony to announce your new rank. Of course, this also comes with a generous bonus as a reward for your hard work! Thank you for reading, and please consider wishlisting the game to support us!
