F/A is also referred to as Inflight Crewmember or IFC. What does F/A stand for?

• A. Complaints Resolution Official (CRO)
• B. Exit Row Seats
• C. Emergency Locator Transmitter
• D. Flight Attendant

Answer: (D)

In airline terminology, F/A is a shorthand for the cabin crew member responsible for passenger safety and service on board. That role is the Flight Attendant. Flight attendants, also known as inflight crewmembers (IFC), are trained to perform safety demonstrations, assist passengers, manage the cabin, and lead evacuations if necessary. The other terms don’t fit the on-board crew role: a Complaints Resolution Official isn’t a standard cabin position, Exit Row Seats refer to the seating area, and the Emergency Locator Transmitter is a device used for locating an aircraft.
