In an emergency alert, who goes to the cockpit for briefing?

• A. SCCM
• B. CCM
• C. Purser
• D. Flight Attendant

Answer: (A)

In an emergency, a clear, authoritative link between cabin and flight deck is essential. The senior cabin crew member (SCCM) is designated to take that liaison role, because they hold the overall responsibility for cabin safety, crew coordination, and communication with the pilots. Going to the cockpit, the SCCM can report concisely on the current cabin status, passenger needs, crew readiness, and any urgent actions required, and they can relay pilots’ instructions back to the crew. While the purser leads cabin operations during normal service, the emergency briefing to the flight deck is assigned to the SCCM as the senior authority in the cabin. A regular cabin crew member or flight attendant does not carry the formal responsibility to brief the cockpit during an alert.
