Sir,How do you contact the FA to request the slide doors to be armed, upon first movement of the aircraft. Also, taxi/takeoff briefs are mentioned in the flow charts, but I can't figure out how to initiate them.

Well, the slides announcement is just an announcement, just say it and it'll work!! As for the checklist, yes, it is mentioned but not simulated. You can brief the FO of course if you want, just you won't get any answer (I think at least). itifonhom

This is from the airline manual I used:Do the BEFORE START checklist. At first movement or just prior to engine start-up, whichever comesfirst.Arm Slides............................................................Announced CaptainVia PA announce
