Prior to pushback and all requirements are met, what does the INT Purser/ purser do?

• A. Coordinate baggage and cargo
• B. Verify passenger manifest
• C. Conduct a safety demonstration
• D. Ready to inform the captain that the cabin is ready

Answer: (D)

Before the aircraft pushes back, the cabin crew chief must confirm that the cabin is ready for departure. The INT Purser’s job at this moment is to verify that all cabin readiness checks are complete and that the cabin is secure, then report to the captain that the cabin is ready. This means doors are closed, passengers are seated with seat belts fastened, service items are cleared, galley and lavatories are secured, and no safety issues remain. Once this status is confirmed, the captain can authorize pushback. Other tasks like coordinating baggage and cargo, verifying the passenger manifest, or conducting the safety demonstration are handled by different processes or at other times and don’t represent the final readiness communication to the captain before pushback.
