During most of the flight, they may be:
- Serving passengers
- Checking the cabin
- Communicating with the cockpit
- Preparing food and drinks
- Assisting passengers
- Performing safety checks
During takeoff and landing, however, they must return to their assigned jump seats.
This allows them to be properly secured and ready for an emergency if necessary.
What Is a Jump Seat?
A jump seat is the specialized seat used by cabin crew.
These seats are designed differently from ordinary passenger seats.
They usually include:
- A restraint system
- A secure seating position
- A location
