Tips

usage
Short for 空中乘务员 (kōngzhōng chéngwùyuán). 空乘 covers both the role and the major you study at airline academies. In casual speech, women may also be called 空姐 (kōngjiě, air-sister) and men (kōngshào, air-young-man).
memory
(kōng, sky) + (chéng, ride / passenger) — literally sky-ride staff. The same reads chéng as in 乘客 (chéngkè, passenger), not shèng.
