In the near future, American Airlines passengers may notice a subtle change to when crews prepare the cabin for landing, and it has some implications for passengers, as flagged by PYOK.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants (AFA), which represents American’s flight attendants, has just informed members of a policy update that’s coming soon.
With the new policy, flight attendants will prepare the cabin for landing at an altitude of 18,000 feet, and will then be seated in their jumpseats as soon as possible, well before the plane descends through 10,000 feet. So with the updated procedure, when you hear the double chime (at 10,000 feet), all flight attendants should already be in their jumpseats.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
