Please be sure to
update your information including contact phone numbers not only
with the company but also with AFA-CWA. In the SRS (Safety Reporting
System), while filing out an SER be sure to include your FAA
certification number. To get into the SRS system your password is
the last four digits of your social security number.
On the AB321 a/c the
"A" f/a jumpseat position is forward inboard (closes to the aisle).
If in doubt about any jump seat position please consult the
individual section of your IEM.
Fluorescent bulbs do not give off heat. Therefore, for boarding,
safety demonstrations and deplaning all cabin lights must be on
bright.
On the AB 320 a/cs in the small overhead bins where the escape
ropes/lanyards are located, nothing else should be in these bins
including demo equipment.
Refrain from storing your suitcase in meal cart.
For passengers seated in an exit row seat that does not have a seat
back pocket directly in front of them, point out the location of
that passenger's safety information card prior to conducting the
exit seat verification. This means on the AB 321 and the B757 a/cs.
If the passenger cannot reach the card from a seated position then
please hand them the Safety Instruction Card.
Pets in the cabin must remain in their carriers. As a flight
attendant refrain from touching or playing with these pets.
If the captain instructs you to perform duties believed to be in
conflict with the company policies and procedures, respectfully
bring it to his/her attention but abide by the instructions. If the
instructions remain, submit a Safety Event Report (SER) and a
written statement to your supervisor. Be sure and send or leave a
copy for your AFA-CWA officer(s).
Seat back pockets are not design to restrain carry-on items. Items
such as laptop computers, CD players and other portable electronic
devices should be properly stowed in appropriate carry-on stowage
areas.
With SERs being
totally electronic, be sure and make a copy for yourself and AFA-CWA
before clicking on the submit button.
Throughout the year the company undergoes several audits,
inspections and testing of our safety and security systems. If
something does not appear to be right ….then challenge the
individual or problem. Be sure and report the situation by filling
out an SER. Be on your guard at all times when on US Airways'
property.
"Safety is the Ultimate Service!"
