Which term describes the staff that assigns flights to flight attendants based on need?

• A. Crew Support
• B. Operations
• C. Observer
• D. Originating Station

Answer: (A)

The staff responsible for assigning flights to flight attendants based on need are the Crew Support team. This group handles crew rostering, coverage, and assignments, taking into account who is available, who is qualified, and regulatory rest requirements to ensure each flight has the right attendants on board. They respond to changes in demand, delays, and crew availability to keep operations running smoothly.

Operations is a broader term for overall flight operations and isn’t specifically about assigning attendants. An observer is someone who watches or records activities, not staffing flights. The originating station is the airport where a flight begins, not a staffing function.
