What is the alert call?

• A. Please prepare meals
• B. Contact the ground crew
• C. Request passengers to fasten seat belts
• D. Will the senior cabin crew member report to the flight deck immediately

Answer: (D)

An alert call is the urgent signal used by cabin crew to summon the most senior cabin crew member to the flight deck immediately. It indicates that something requires the flight crew’s direct attention—such as a security issue, a medical emergency, or another serious in-flight situation that needs immediate coordination with the pilots. It’s not used for routine tasks like serving meals, contacting ground staff, or reminding passengers to fasten seat belts, which are non-urgent or standard operations. Therefore, the alert call is specifically to have the senior cabin crew member report to the flight deck right away.
