When the flight attendants greet you as you board the aircraft, it may seem like just part of airline courtesy, but there is actually an ulterior motive for doing so. Flight attendants are taught how to quickly make important assessments and are able to look over each and every passenger to see if someone might be problematic or intoxicated or needlessly anxious. They make mental notes of who is travelling alone, who is travelling with children, and passengers who might be in need of extra assistance. Sometimes they may also pick people out who look like they are strong and capable, who may be useful in an emergency situation.
