Hierarchy of Flight Crew<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hierarchy varies from one airline to the other.\u00a0Aircraft Crew is divided into two groups- Cockpit Crew and Cabin Crew.\u00a0 As an Aircraft Crew, there is a captain\/ Pilot\/ Commander, a first officer\/ Co- Pilot, possibly a second officer (or another first officer) in the cockpit then a senior cabin crew member (different airlines use different designators) and other junior crew in the cabin. Depending on the airline, more senior crew is in charge of a particular class of travel, than junior cabin crew. Allocation of crew also depends on the size and configuration of an aircraft.<\/p>\n

Some airlines rank crew working in the premium cabins higher, some even pay them more.\u00a0 Other airlines don\u2019t.\u00a0 British Airways for example have two grades of main crew.\u00a0 Grade Ones work in First, Grade Twos work in Club World, World Traveller and World Traveller Plus.\u00a0Quite often, the Grade Ones may well in fact be junior to many Grade Twos.\u00a0 Many Grade Ones will opt to work in economy over First if there are enough Grade Ones.\u00a0 Club World can also be left to the most junior of the Grade Twos, depending on the loads and destination.<\/p>\n

It is better to classify it according to specific airlines to be truly accurate with the term\/ word they use for hierarchy levels.<\/p>\n
