Cabin Safety Evaluations • For Inflight Service • To uphold our number one Value • Ensure onboard compliance of safety • Ensure onboard compliance of regulatory standards • Gain a snapshot of what is happening operationally • Hold crewmembers to a safety standard • Identify areas of opportunities for best practice and learning • For the FAA • Safety Attribute Inspections • We say what we are doing per FAA SOP • Element Performance Inspections • We are doing what we said (SAIs) we are doing
How was the Cabin Safety Evaluation created? • Developed in three pieces • CSE Form • CSE Crewleader Guide • CSE Closed Loop Process • New 8900 in FSIMS • FAA Inspector Enroute Checklist • ATOS EPIs • Current QSR program • Industry best practice • Feedback from our local FSDO

Rating Criteria • YES - The behavior is demonstrated 100% of the time when the opportunity exists • YES WITH COACHING - The behavior is demonstrated only after the Crewmember has been coached on the proper procedure. Applicable to Pre-flight tasks and those tasks where the ability to witness completion again exists. • NO – The behavior or part of the behavior is not demonstrated even after coaching. • NOT OBSERVED - Selected when a task is not observed by the Auditor due to seat location or anything impeding view of the task. • NOT APPLICABLE - Selected when a task that is the responsibility of the position of the Crewmember being evaluated or procedure does not apply for specific flight flown.
