Question for Ryanair crew
Hi
Bit of a trivial question really, but interested to know. It's for a Ryanair pilot or cabin crew member.
Recently, I was sitting near the front on a Ryanair flight. The cabin crew were seated and strapped in for landing. They had - I think - used the intercom to tell the flight crew that the cabin was secure. A few minutes later, the 'Cabin Crew: seats for landing, please' command came over the PA from the Flight Deck.
I have heard this command on every Ryanair flight I have taken, so I realise it is an SOP. My question is: why do you still say this if you already know the cabin crew are seated and the cabin is secure? Is it just because it is SOP to say it regardless?
Thanks,
Nick

Not a Ryanair crew member, but the same procedure exists at Jet2.com where I work.
Basically, the cabin crew advise all secure, but occasionally they then have to get up again after passing the secure, and don't have an opportunity to advise the flight crew. This PA then gives them the final notification that landing is imminent and that they must return to their stations and strap in, or advise the flight crew that the cabin is no longer secure and the approach will then be terminated until the cabin is once again secure.
Hope this helps your comprehension.
