Flight attendants number one job is to make the flight comfortable for all passengers. They are to ensure that every need is met. They often stand for the entire flight to guarantee that everyone is taken care of. About one hour before a flight takes off, they pilot will brief the attendants on the policies, such as what to do in case of an emergency. They will often tell them of any special passengers on the plane, or any special precautions for this specific flight.

There is a certain amount of social aspects, which goes into being a flight attendant. Working with a pilot day in and day out, you tend to develop relationships. The cockpit remains a separate area from the cabin. They can only communicate through an interphone devise. Safety is the number one issue on a plane, and while communication is important, tending to all the needs of the passengers leaves little time for socializing.
Still there is some degree of socialization, which does happen between pilots and flight attendants. However, safety should always be the main focus on each and every flight. That is why so many safety measures have been taken to separate the cock pit from the cabin area. The pilots must have full concentration at all times.
