Which group may be involved in subduing attackers according to procedures?

• A. Flight Attendants, LEOs, and ABPs
• B. Pilots only
• C. Ground staff
• D. Passengers only

Answer: (A)

In these procedures, responding to an attacker is a team effort that uses everyone who is capable and authorized to help. Flight attendants take the lead, trained to manage the threat, coordinate the crew, and guide others on restraining if needed. If a law enforcement officer is aboard, they should be engaged to assist due to their training and authority. Able-bodied passengers identified as ABPs can also be asked to help, when safe and appropriate, to restrain or distract the attacker. This combination captures all groups that may be involved under standard procedures, making it the most complete and practical option. Limiting to pilots or excluding on-board professionals and ABPs would overlook essential responders who can contribute in a real incident.
