Cabin Serviceperson Position Description

Even though the airlines are in business to transport people from one place to another, they could not function without the help of many people on the ground, including those who take reservations and sell tickets, as well as those who help keep the airplanes operating on schedule.

A cabin serviceperson is responsible for cleaning and preparing the interior of aircraft. The job involves bending and lifting bags of blankets weighing between 45-50 lbs. Particular duties include vacuuming the floor, picking up trash, washing lavatories and buffets, replacing headrests and pillow covers, folding blankets, refilling seat pockets with magazines and safety information, refilling the drinking water supply, and cleaning the cockpit windows. The job often must be completed within 10 or 15 minutes allowed before the plane loads passengers. Other service persons are responsible for the exterior of the aircraft. They wash, polish, touch up paint, and de-ice the outside of the airplane. They also work with chemicals that are used to prevent corrosion of surfaces.

These employees use cleaning equipment and must work at a fast pace and in cramped areas with a team of workers. There is shift work, and uniforms must be worn.

Cabin servicepersons must have great attention to detail and ability to work rotating and split shifts.

High school graduate.

Married and unmarried men and women, with or without children are eligible. Persons who are widowed or divorced, also are eligible.

EEOC has jurisdiction of the prohibitions against employment discrimination codified in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, Sections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Titles I and V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. These laws prohibit discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age and disability.

The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) and the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) enforce the prohibitions against federal employment discrimination codified in the CSRA. The OSC will defer those bases of discrimination under EEOC's jurisdiction to the respective federal agency and its EEO process. The CSRA also prohibits employment discrimination in the federal government based on marital status, political affiliation and conduct which does not adversely affect the performance of the employee, none of which are within EEOC's jurisdiction. Moreover, the law defines ten other prohibited personnel practices in the federal government, all of which fall under the jurisdiction of the OSC and the MSPB. See Prohibited Personnel Practices at http://www.osc.gov/ppp.htm.
