Who on board is referred to as the In-Charge?

• A. Lead Flight Attendant
• B. Captain
• C. First Officer
• D. Purser

Answer: (A)

The role of In-Charge on board refers to the senior cabin crew member responsible for managing the cabin and its crew during the flight. That duty sits with the Lead Flight Attendant, who leads safety procedures, coordinates crew duties, and acts as the main liaison with the flight deck and passengers. The Captain and First Officer are flight deck pilots focused on flying the aircraft, not cabin operations. The Purser is another senior cabin crew role focused on service and passenger comfort, but the specific responsibility of directing cabin operations and safety is the Lead Flight Attendant.
