What training do flight attendants undergo to ensure passenger safety during emergencies?

Delta flight attendants undergo weeks of intense training designed to simulate chaotic emergency conditions. The FAA requires that flight crews must be able to evacuate an entire aircraft in just 90 seconds, making thorough preparation essential. During training, attendants learn to issue concise, clear commands such as "grab ankles, heads down, stay low" and proper evacuation techniques including how passengers should position their limbs when using emergency slides. The ultimate goal is to efficiently evacuate passengers as quickly as possible from the aircraft, especially during emergencies.
