When could a JetBlue crewmember practice 'proactive service' during boarding?

• A. Only after all passengers are seated.
• B. When anticipating needs, such as offering water or reading material proactively.
• C. Never, only reactively.
• D. To speed boarding at the expense of service.

Answer: (B)

Proactive service means anticipating guest needs and offering help before they ask, especially during the boarding process. During boarding, a crewmember can quickly check if someone would like water, reading material, or assistance with a seat or overhead bin. Doing this sets a positive tone, helps passengers feel cared for, and can smooth the boarding flow by addressing common wants before they become questions or delays. This option fits because it shows initiative to improve the guest experience without waiting for requests or delaying safety-related duties. Waiting until everyone is seated misses the opportunity to ease discomfort and confusion as people board. Being purely reactive ignores the value of preempting needs. Trying to speed the process by sacrificing service undermines the goal of a friendly, attentive cabin experience.
