Seniority refers to?

• A. The first flight of the day for each aircraft
• B. A passenger paying for a fare without a guaranteed seat
• C. Length of service as a FA which begins to accrue at start of ground school
• D. To lock up or prepare for locking up

Answer: (C)

Seniority is your length of service as a flight attendant with the airline, used to determine your place in line for schedules, bids, vacations, and other roster priorities. It starts accumulating at the start of ground school, so even before you fly your first trip, your seniority is already being built. The more senior you are, the higher your priority for preferred pairings, base assignments, and leaves, and you’ll typically have more protections during staffing changes. It isn’t about the first flight of the day, a passenger fare without a guaranteed seat, or locking up the cabin.
