China's first air hostess-cops to surface (CRI) Updated: 2006-06-19 16:33
 Zhuoga is one of
China's first batch Tibetan stewardesses. She will appear on the plane of
Air China's Southwest Company in early September as China's first female
Tibetan airplane security guard. Pictured: the Tibetan girl Zhuoga who has
a swarthy complexion by the sun was learning wrestling with male students.
Starting early this September, China's first batch of female stewards
with "double identities", who are not only gentle and beautiful air
hostesses but also "air policewomen" good at fighting, will formally show
up on the flights of Air China Southwest Branch
Co. |
It is learnt that after passing a strict test, these air security guards will
receive a two-and-a-half-month isolation training in Chengdu command institute
under the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, where they can train physical
abilities and learn skills of capturing and unarmed combat and how to handle
emergency. Air China revealed that in some respects, female security guards are
more careful and not easy to be discovered on the flight. Once an emergency
happens, their identities as stewards more likely ease others' alert, which is
good for overpowering the criminals with a single step beyond their expectation.
