After hearing a high-low chime at the end of service as the "C" flight attendant, what is the next step?

The high-low chime at the end of service signifies a communication cue for flight attendants. As the "C" flight attendant, the proper response to this chime involves checking the cabin for compliance. This step ensures that everything is secured and that all passengers are following safety protocols before the flight's descent or landing.

Conducting a compliance check is critical as it allows you to verify that all passengers are seated with their seatbelts fastened and that any carry-on items are stowed properly, thereby maintaining safety and comfort in preparation for landing. It reinforces the importance of being vigilant about passenger safety and adherence to regulations during this crucial phase of the flight.

Taking your jumpseat, starting final service, or preparing emergency equipment are important responsibilities, but they follow after ensuring that the cabin is compliant. This sequence of actions maintains the flow of service and safety protocols that Southwest Airlines adheres to.
