Learning notes
Explanation
This is a loanword from English “steward.” In Thai, it is used mainly for a male flight attendant. The role includes passenger safety, guidance, emergency response, and in-flight service—not merely serving food and drinks. As with other words for people, it is counted with คน: สจ๊วตสองคน means “two male flight attendants.” The formal, gender-neutral occupational title is พนักงานต้อนรับบนเครื่องบิน.
Usage
It is commonly used in everyday conversation when discussing a male flight attendant, such as describing someone’s job or referring to a crew member on a plane. Airlines and official materials generally favor a gender-neutral job title.
Caution
The word traditionally refers to a man. When gender is unknown or when referring to flight attendants collectively, use พนักงานต้อนรับบนเครื่องบิน. Do not confuse the role with พนักงานเสิร์ฟ, a server in a restaurant.
