Thick passenger comments

[flapsforty]

• Where I work, FAs fly 3 or 4 different types. As opposed to pilots who fly one type.
• Each type has a different optimum cruising altitude.
• On the day, the actual altitude depends on weight, other traffic, wind at different levels, ATC and a few more things.
• In our mob, the Captn does not mention the initially expected flight level, since it will be available to the pax throughout the flight via Flight Tracking on their individual video screens.

Despite a keen interest in everything that happens in the cockpit, I would fail bitterly in living up to your expectations of an FA knowing the flight level at any given point in time during the flight Pontius.

Even if checking our current altitude is a normal part of a cockpit visit, and I´ll notice if we are much lower or higher than the vague figure I had in my head.

But just like Minicrew, rather than bullsh!tting a passenger, I´d either check Flight Tracking or call the pilots for a proper answer.
