In a situation where there is no qualified Ryanair CC available during flight, what responsibility does the N2 have?

In the context of Ryanair operations, if there is no qualified Cabin Crew (CC) member available during a flight, the N2 (the second in command of the cabin crew) assumes additional responsibilities to ensure the safety and well-being of all passengers on board. This includes not only fulfilling their own duties as designated but also taking on the roles and responsibilities typically assigned to the N3 (the third in command).

Ryanair's safety protocols require that, in the absence of qualified personnel, the crew must adapt to ensure that all necessary safety tasks are completed. This means that the N2 would be responsible for their usual tasks, which might include overseeing the cabin safety, conducting passenger briefings, managing cabin crew operations, and, importantly, taking on any critical safety duties that fall under the N3 position which may include responsibilities related to safety demonstrations and emergency preparedness.

This dual role ensures that all passengers are safe and well-informed throughout the flight, reflecting the priority given to safety within the airline’s operational procedures.
