Narrative:

Flight sju-mia. Due to full flight, F/a trnees were placed on F/a jumpseats for return to mia. These are not qualified F/a's and it was not cleared through operations. The captain seemed to have approved this with the agent asking permission. This concerns me. What would have happened in an emergency situation? They are not qualified for the position.
