Which flight attendant is responsible for stowing carry-on bags that ground operations cannot carry in the cargo area?

• A. FWD
• B. AFT
• C. GALLEY
• D. LAV

Answer: (B)

Stowage duties are assigned by cabin zone, so the flight attendant covering the rear of the aircraft handles items that ground operations can’t move to the cargo hold. The aft flight attendant is responsible for managing the rear cabin and coordinating any unaccommodated carry-on baggage, using approved aft cabin storage and keeping aisles clear for safety. The forward flight attendant handles the front section, not bags left behind in the rear, and the galley and lav are service and restroom areas—not designated places for storing passenger carry-ons. So the person in the aft position is the one who handles these bags.
