Who is responsible for the predeparture announcement on a CRJ 700?

• A. AFT
• B. FWD
• C. DECK CREW
• D. GALLEY

Answer: (B)

The person responsible is the forward flight attendant. In a CRJ 700, the cabin is divided into forward and aft sections, and the duties for preparing the cabin and delivering the initial predeparture safety announcements fall to the crew member stationed in the forward cabin. This ensures the front part of the cabin, where most passengers are seated and where the main briefing typically occurs, receives the information clearly and promptly. The aft flight attendant handles their section, but the forward attendant coordinates the predeparture announcements for the whole cabin. The deck crew isn’t a function on fixed-wing aircraft, and the galley crew focuses on service tasks, not the safety and predeparture briefing.
