You are actually right!

My friend checked his CO FA manual, overhead bins and emergency equipment checked is all required prior to closing the door. PRIOR TO PUSHBACK is seatbelts, seatbacks, tray tables, etc. So I'm sorry, my bad...
My friend and I were getting the UA and CO policies confused. If you've worked for another airline, you know the first training you get as FA never goes away no matter how many airlines you work for afterwards.
PS. It's not a violation to talk about safety procedures of an airline, but it is to talk about threat levels/security procedures, and BTW I'm no longer a FA, the furloughs and layoffs got tiring...
