Narrative:

Today upon checking in for my last flight for the day in ZZZ; I was told by the gate agents that [seats] xx and xy are available for passengers if needed. I didn't understand exactly why; so I spoke to person X and she verified this.essentially; the company is putting revenue above flight attendant safety. I find this to be unacceptable for obvious reasons. The health and safety of colleagues of the company are of the utmost importance as the company always says.the seat in xx has a view panel that is required to be open for taxi; takeoff; landing and turbulence. The purser has to sit in the jumpseat facing all passengers with that view panel open. This is not safe for the flight attendant sitting directly in their jumpseat at xz. Also the last seat in the rear of the aircraft on the aisle should not be available if needed; but rather blocked.yes; the policy is that the mask is to be placed over the nose and mouth and that no vented masks are acceptable on board. It is also stated that if a passenger doesn't comply; to provide the customer(s) with the company's policy for masks. I would then file a report and inform the appropriate parties; including the flight deck. This doesn't negate the safety issue at hand of the passenger in xx not complying or when they are eating and/or drinking. I would appreciate a prompt review of the following as now my health could be in jeopardy.
