What is the term for the city designated by the company where flight attendants are based?

• A. Domicile
• B. Home Base
• C. Base City
• D. Crew City

Answer: (A)

In airline crew terminology, the city where a flight attendant is officially based is called the domicile. This is the formal term used in contracts and scheduling systems to designate the crew’s official base, which influences things like bidding, seniority, and per diem. The domicile is the official home base used for administrative purposes, even if a crew member may live elsewhere.

Home base is a commonly used, more casual way to refer to the same idea, but the precise, contract-oriented term is domicile. Base city and crew city aren’t standard terms in this context, so they’re not the correct technical labels.
