Are all flight attendant's jump seats aft facing on the B737-700 (73G)?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Some are forward facing
• D. Unknown

Answer: (A)

The key idea is how flight attendant jump seats are oriented on this aircraft. On United’s Boeing 737-700 (73G), every jump seat is installed facing aft, toward the rear of the airplane. This uniform aft-facing layout is chosen for safety and operational reasons: the seat backs and restraints are designed to keep a crew member securely in place during takeoff, landing, and turbulence, reducing the risk of injury from forward throws. It also keeps the crew in a position where they can readily monitor the cabin, reach the doors, and assist passengers as needed without differing seat orientations getting in the way.

Because the configuration on this variant is consistently aft-facing, statements suggesting some jump seats are forward-facing wouldn’t match the actual setup. The “unknown” option isn’t appropriate here either since the standard layout is documented for the 73G.
