First-Line Supervisors of Passenger Attendants
Transportation and Material Moving
Attendants who work with passengers, on flights, in cars, or in similar settings, are directed day to day, with safety rules enforced and the needs of particular groups passed along. New staff are shown the work or assigned to experienced attendants for training.

Figures on people and operations are logged, activity reports written, and cash, payroll, transport, or staffing needs estimated. Suits people who like leading a service crew, tracking numbers and comments, and spelling out procedures.
