Narrative:
Recently, I have had to remind 2 flight attendants who were flying #1 position, that all doors including the forward entry must be armed before they say the cabin is ready. They were under a different impression either from their department or the wrong information from their contemporaries. Highly recommend that a reminder be sent out to them before our principal operations inspector or an FAA jump seat rider has the same experience.
