What type of count must the "B" flight attendant provide to the operations agent upon deplaning passengers?

The "B" flight attendant must provide a through count to the operations agent upon deplaning passengers. A through count refers to the verification of the number of passengers who are remaining on the aircraft compared to the initial count prior to departure. This count is crucial for ensuring that all passengers have disembarked safely and that proper records are maintained regarding passenger safety and aircraft occupancy.

This process is essential for operational efficiency and safety, as it allows the crew to account for every passenger and ensures that no one is left on board unintentionally. The through count specifically focuses on the status of passengers who have not only deplaned but also how many are still on board before the aircraft is turned around for the next flight.

While final counts, initial counts, and passenger load counts are relevant in different contexts within flight operations, they do not align as appropriately with the task of reporting after passengers have deplaned. Understanding the specific terminology used in airline operations helps flight attendants ensure safety and operational integrity.
