Narrative:
The company has issued flight attendants ipads to use on aircraft. They are now requiring that we carry it to perform our preflight and inflight safety. That is all well and good; but they require it to be near our jump seats (we have no place to store it) and on our persons during the flight (we have no place to keep it in our uniforms--presently no pockets are big enough to store it.) I think it is a step forward in the right direction; but unrealistic.
