Crew Roles Guide: Co-op Responsibilities and Teamwork
Detailed breakdown of cockpit flight crew, cabin service attendants, and wing maintenance engineers in Mayday Airways.
Flight Overview
Mayday Airways challenges teams to keep an aging passenger aircraft flying across island routes. A full party accommodates 1-4 crew members working together over proximity voice. Mayday Airways places a crew of one to four players in charge of an aging island aircraft that begins breaking down right after takeoff. Keeping the flight operational requires steering the aircraft, managing passenger satisfaction, and fixing mechanical failures in mid-air.
Cockpit Aviator
Before departure, the pilot must hold K to start the engines and then apply throttle. Pilots control pitch using W and S, bank the aircraft with A and D, and adjust yaw using rudder keys. A pilot must remain near the controls because the autopilot system occasionally disconnects during flight. If the autopilot disengages and the aircraft nose drops, someone must take manual control immediately.
Cabin Attendant
To subdue aggressive hijackers, crew can purchase a 
Baseball Bat from the shop for 35 money. Deploying an emergency 
Defibrillator purchased for 120 money revives downed teammates using its 2 charges.
Crew members can also operate a 
Video Camera bought for 45 money to document flights. Attendants can switch to selfie mode using right click while left click captures footage and voice chat.
Wing Engineer
Carrying a 
Repair Hammer allows players to fix dents, mechanical jams, structural leaks, and ice accumulation across the aircraft. Equipping 
Sticky Shoes from the supply shop costs 240 money and shields engineers across 3 flights. These glue-soled shoes ensure gale-force airflow cannot dislodge workers, though jumping breaks surface adhesion. A teammate inside the cabin must look toward the hatch and hold E to haul the dangling crewmate back inside. The dangling worker must assist the recovery effort by holding W to climb upward.
Team Scaling
When approaching the destination runway, deploy the landing gear and reduce airspeed to 45 meters per second. Touching down with a vertical descent rate under 1 meter per second earns a butter landing that prompts passenger applause and extra tips. Between emergency tasks, crew members can hold B to open the emote wheel and pick an animation. After touching down safely at an island runway, teams celebrate successful arrivals together on the apron.
