Flight Operations Safety Bulletin

 Date August 29, 2001

During a recent flight attendant observation ride on a J41, it was noticed that the flight attendant's overnight bag was standing up behind seat 10 right. When this was brought to the flight attendants attention, she stowed the bag under seat 10 right.

The seats in our aircraft are equipped with a restraining bar to restrain underseat bags during turbulence or incident. By placing the bag behind the seat instead of under the seat this protection is lost and the bag could end up in the aisle at the least desirable time.

For safety's sake, please make sure that crew bags are stowed properly.
