An ON-LINE FLIGHT ATTENDANT is defined as...

• A. A flight attendant actively working a schedule.
• B. A flight attendant in training.
• C. A flight attendant on reserve status.
• D. A flight attendant who handles ground operations.

Answer: (A)

Being on-line means you’re actively assigned to flights and part of the official schedule. This status means you have specific trips or a rostered line of duties you’re expected to perform, reporting for duty and flying according to the airline’s pairing system. It’s the condition where you’re actually operating flights and being paid for those trips.

That’s why the best choice describes a flight attendant who is actively working a schedule. In contrast, a flight attendant in training isn’t yet on the line, someone on reserve isn’t on a fixed schedule but is standby, and someone handling ground operations isn’t flying.
