If a FA has a bad gut feeling they should go to at least 2 other FAs confirm their feeling before going to the PIC.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if the Captain approves
• D. It depends on the flight

Answer: (B)

Trusting your safety instincts means escalating to the person in command right away. If something doesn’t feel right, you should report it to the PIC (Captain) so they can assess and decide on the next action. Waiting for two other flight attendants to confirm your concern wastes precious time and could let a risk escalate. The PIC is trained to evaluate safety issues and authorize steps to protect everyone on board. If the PIC isn’t available, use the established chain of command to escalate to the lead FA or purser according to crew procedures. So, you don’t need, and shouldn’t wait for, consensus before going to the PIC.
