Flight attendants have developed a "secret language" of code words to discreetly inform each other of emergencies during flights, minimizing passenger panic. Notably, 'Code 300' and 'Angel' are used to communicate in-flight deaths, requiring careful attention and protocols to manage such situations. Other codes, like 'Code Yellow,' signal more minor medical issues. This system allows airlines to address emergencies efficiently while keeping passengers unaware of the severity, thus maintaining a calmer environment during stressful in-flight incidents. Experts emphasize the importance of this discreet communication for both passengers' comfort and crew effectiveness.
The somewhat innocuous-sounding 'Code 300' and 'Angel' indicate that someone has died on board, highlighting the delicate nature of in-flight emergencies.
In general, the crew is expected to 'take extra care when moving the person and be aware of the difficulty of the situation for companions and onlookers.'
When the aircraft does land, it is considered a crime scene, so the police come on and assess the whole aircraft and the passengers.
'This 'secret language' allows flight attendants to discreetly communicate situations often without passengers ever noticing,' experts explain.
