Wait, what? How did we jump to the ISRs being there for safety and certified to help in evacuations?
They were there for language / cultural assistance.
Just make them union dues paying FA's who wore Kimonos and be done with it.
That would probably have been OK with the F/A union, but UA management didn't want to pay them union wages.
Eventually things evolved so that there are now F/A domiciles in Europe and Asia, paid at union wages.
