Narrative:

This was the first day of a 3 day trip. The captain and I had flown together before. The flight attendants were new, each had about 2-3 months flying the line. The captain was very thorough in his briefing to them before departure. On the third and last leg or the trip from pit to sdf, we had a full aircraft. When we were 15 mi from the airport, we gave the final landing signal to the flight attendants. The landing was normal and we taxied to the gate. After the passenger deplaned, we learned the 2 forward flight attendants had been standing in the galley on landing. They heard the signal and became busy (and lost track of time) closing out the liquor kits for the night. They did not notify us they had a time problem. We rebriefed them about the importance of preparing the cabin fast and most of all, notify the cockpit crew if they need more time. With new crew members, you can't assume anything. You try to cover all the bases on the briefing, but this item will have to rank #1 with new attendants.

THE CAPT WAS VERY THOROUGH IN HIS BRIEFING TO THEM BEFORE DEP. ON THE THIRD AND LAST LEG OR THE TRIP FROM PIT TO SDF, WE HAD A FULL ACFT. WHEN WE WERE 15 MI FROM THE ARPT, WE GAVE THE FINAL LNDG SIGNAL TO THE FLT ATTENDANTS. THE LNDG WAS NORMAL AND WE TAXIED TO THE GATE. AFTER THE PAX DEPLANED, WE LEARNED THE 2 FORWARD FLT ATTENDANTS HAD BEEN STANDING IN THE GALLEY ON LNDG. THEY HEARD THE SIGNAL AND BECAME BUSY (AND LOST TRACK OF TIME) CLOSING OUT THE LIQUOR KITS FOR THE NIGHT. THEY DID NOT NOTIFY US THEY HAD A TIME PROB. WE REBRIEFED THEM ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PREPARING THE CABIN FAST AND MOST OF ALL, NOTIFY THE COCKPIT CREW IF THEY NEED MORE TIME. WITH NEW CREW MEMBERS, YOU CAN'T ASSUME ANYTHING.
