Narrative:
As [a] flight attendant (flight attendant); my assigned jump seat [on this flight] is 2 center left. From this jump seat; there is no access to the interphone. Should something happen to the other fas; such as a rapid decompression; or in the event that they are needed to vacate their jump seat; I have no access to communication with the flight deck or the rest of the crew from this jump seat. I don't feel this is a safe situation. If we had non-working crew seated at the jump seat; they would have access to the interphone; but I would not.there is access from the jump seat at 2 center right. I chose to sit at this jump seat for landing; since I didn't feel safe doing so from my assigned jump seat.not all 767s have this issue. Some have the interphone on the right side of the jump seat at 2L instead of the left side.
