Why this score

Transportation attendants — including airline flight attendants, bus attendants, and similar roles — face direct automation pressure on their most routine tasks: ticket scanning, boarding verification, safety announcement delivery, and in-transit information provision. Kiosks, automated PA systems, and app-based passenger communication are already replacing these functions across airlines and transit agencies. The physical service and emergency-response components of the job offer some protection, but they occupy a shrinking share of daily work hours. If your shift mostly involves checking tickets and answering standard passenger questions, you should be planning your next move now.
