Tips

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