Just put me straight on this......

Re-fuelling stop......pax on board......stairs at forward and rear left doors.....

Should the service doors on the right side of the aircraft be in automatic?

Don't really know but isn't this defined in your Operations Manual?

Hi Richter. the airline you work for has a policy clearly stated in the cabin crew manual (chapter 2 page 13) -

All passenger entrance doors that are open must either have stairs or an airbridge in position;

If any doors are closed, the escape slides must be armed.

Hope this clears things up for you.

Ladies and Gentlemen


I dont like to sound picky but your quote is not quite true (unless we have different manuals)

Page 13 , Section 2.14

'All passenger entrance doors that are open must either have stairs or an airbridge in position;

If doors are closed, the escape slides must be armed;

The ground area beneath the exits intended for emergency evacuation and slide deployment must be kept clear;'


It does not say if any doors are closed the escape slides must be armed and if the service doors are intended for use as emergency exits - then we already know that the ground beneath them is not clear - as that is where the fuel tanker is.
Therefore, I questioned the process as I it was not touched on in training.

Better to question it before anything goes wrong eh?
