A319/A320 Flight Attendant Jumpseat Reassignment – LUS

Effective Tuesday, March 1, 2016, all Legacy US Airways jumpseat positions on A319/A320 aircraft are changing to align with Legacy American’s A319 jumpseat positions.

In addition, alignment of jumpseat positions prepares the move from the Legacy LUS “alphabetical” identifiers to the Legacy AA “numeric” identifiers when cross metal flying is implemented in 2017. For example, A-FA to FA 1, B-FA to FA 2, C-FA to FA 3, and so on.

The following procedures are not changing as part of this alignment:

Boarding Positions
Safety Demo Positions
Service Responsibilities
Planned Emergency Duties
