As we approach October 1st and begin working with each other on aircraft we may be unfamiliar with, it is a good time to point out that several 757, 767 and some 777 aircraft have crew rest seats in various areas of the passenger cabin.
As we approach October 1st and begin working with each other on aircraft we may be unfamiliar with, it is a good time to point out that several 757, 767 and some 777 aircraft have crew rest seats in various areas of the passenger cabin. Some of these areas are more prominent than others because of the crew rest curtains that surround these seats. Other areas are a bit less noticeable. For example, the pilot crew rest area near the flight deck on the 777-200 fleet.
As Flight Attendants always do, we work to ensure we limit work and noise in those areas immediately adjacent to the crew rest area. On the 767-300 three class aircraft, this is the case for the business class galley adjacent to seats 13 & 14 AB at the rear of the business class cabin. As we always do on the 777-200 aircraft, once the main meal service is concluded, we work to limit activities associated with the mid-flight or pre-arrival services near the pilot crew rest area to ensure the quietest possible environment for rest for the pilots responsible for the safety of our flight.
In a similar way, we work to avoid socializing in these areas to once again ensure the quietest areas and a restful environment for everyone working the flight.
As we begin working together on new aircraft, we must make a concerted effort to ensure we become aware that crew rest areas are in different parts of the passenger cabin on certain fleets. The more aware we are as to the location of these areas, the less likely it will be that we will inadvertently disturb the rest of our fellow crew-members on these flights.
