Passage 1
One hour before departure, the flight crew——pilot, co-pilot, and flight engineer——will meet. The pilot will conduct the first meeting, reviewing time en-route, weather, safety, security, and any other important procedures and aspects of what the particular flight will entail. An example is the procedure for loss of communications, which must be discussed in the briefing.
While the cockpit crew performs a check of the aircraft and its engines, the cabin attendants hold their own briefing. For an international flight, on a Boeing 777 for example, there may be 14 cabin attendants. During the briefing, the purser assigns positions by seniority and qualifications. This determines which seat rows each attendant will be responsible for. Where a cabin attendant sits determines his or her section of responsibility, such as which exit he or she will be in charge of and what tasks he or she must accomplish during an emergency, including using oxygen masks, fire extinguisher, door slides, life vests and rafts. Security of the aircraft on the ground and in the air is again reviewed.
Once on board, the cabin attendants must complete a “preflight” checklist. First, each checks that his or her folding-or jump-seat is in working order and that all safety belts are functional. All switches and controls on the cabin-attendant panel are checked for operating settings. Then, each attendant inspects the exit door or doors, and the seating in his or her section of responsibility to ensure safety and that all life vests are properly stowed, overhead bins are empty and doors are latched properly.
