If 'Cabin Crew Standby' is announced, who should make the public address if time permits?

• A. Captain
• B. No.1
• C. Any crew member
• D. Flight Deck

Answer: (B)

No.1 is the senior cabin crew member on a flight and is the designated lead for cabin operations, including communications with passengers. When Cabin Crew Standby is announced and there is time to speak to passengers, the No.1 should deliver the public address. This person has the authority and training to present clear, accurate cabin information and to coordinate with the crew, ensuring the message is professional and understood by everyone on board. The flight deck (captain) handles cockpit-related updates or emergencies, not routine passenger announcements, and other crew members aren’t the designated spokesperson in this scenario.
