The Galley FA must check catering and set up carts BEFORE all other cabin checks are complete. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only on some flights

Answer: (B)

The important idea here is that safety and cabin readiness take priority over service tasks. Cabin checks ensure passenger safety: aisles and exits are clear, seat belts and signs are in the correct state, emergency equipment is present and accessible, and there are no hazards. Galley catering and cart setup should come after those safety checks are completed because starting catering too early could miss safety issues or block access to exits and equipment. So the statement is false—galley catering setup is not done before finishing all cabin checks. This safety-first approach applies on every flight, not just some.
