Narrative:

The crew rest curtain at door 1L; when stowed; covers the 2 emergency oxygen bottles and makes that compartment impossible to open and inspect your emergency equipment. Also it restricts [and] diminishes the space to stand in case of an emergency. When the curtain is opened/extended it makes all emergency equipment inaccessible; especially the jumpseat and firefighting equipment; and the flashlight. This violates far 121.309: all emergency equipment must be clearly identifiable and readily accessible to the crew; and far 121.310; flashlights must be accessible from each flight attendant seat.
