my company
1) one FA at each galley
2) one in the middle
3) no fueling and other services, catering, bags, etc.
4) nothing obstructing the aisle. iīll get back to this.
5) one pilot (one pilot and on flight engineer for the 742) in the cockpit
6) maintenance guys on the interphone
7) No smoking on
8) fasten belts off
9) all slides armed !!!
10) emergency exit lights armed.
#4 is a grey area because a 200 lb passenger putting his 70 lb big bag in an overhead bin thatīs not empty IS something blocking the aisle...not to mention more than 1 passenger doing that.
our regs do allow fueling at the same time as embarking, tho
If the captainīs already gone and I am sitting their while refueling I personally do not allow them to board pax while fueling.
