Which statement defines 'duty' for flight attendants in this material?

• A. All Flights, Standing Reserve & Jump seaters
• B. Only paid flights
• C. Ground operations
• D. Training sessions

Answer: (A)

Duty means the period when a flight attendant is assigned to or on call to perform flight-related duties. It includes not only actual paid flights but also Standing Reserve (on‑call standby) and Jump seaters (attendants in the jump seat, ready to depart or assist). This broad definition ensures crew are accounted for and ready across all stages of operation, not just during paid flights. The other options narrow duty to paid flights, ground operations, or training sessions, which don’t reflect the full scope of on‑duty responsibilities.
