Which FA is responsible for closing overhead bins? (CRJ 700)

• A. AFT
• B. FWD
• C. AFT & FWD
• D. MCD

Answer: (C)

Closing overhead bins is part of securing the cabin and is done by both flight attendants, each for their own zone. The forward attendant takes care of the bins in the front section, while the aft attendant handles the bins toward the rear. This zone-based approach ensures every bin is closed and latched before pushback, so nothing can shift or open during taxi, takeoff, or landing. The MCD position is tied to door operations near the main cabin door and isn’t responsible for closing overhead bins across the entire cabin, so it isn’t the sole source of this task.
