Notes & Sources
- Flight Attendant (1A6X1) is a retired identifier: its skill ladder appears in the AFECD 30 Apr 23 edition and is absent from the 30 Apr 25, 31 Oct 25, and 30 Apr 26 editions.
- Cabin-safety and passenger-comfort duties are listed in the current Aircrew Operations Career Field introduction and performed under the CEM 1A100 aviator specialties (flight-attendant positions appear as Executive Mission Aviator shreds); the old code alone does not establish current duties.
