Narrative:
New jumpseat relocation has a negative when it comes to safety and security concerns. Compromising our ability to communicate in an emergency and security situation by being away from the interphone and private conversations that occur on the jumpseat cause issues and does nothing to promote social distancing because we still work together and there is no way to avoid that aspect on the airplane.what's [the] purpose when you have to sit next to people and the whole row is not blocked anyways. It doesn't change anything and I am concerned this is throwing safety out the window. Safety demo and oxygen and life vest should be demonstrated regardless. In addition; we need to address oxygen masks with personal masks on their faces. This needs to be addressed immediately.
