That's what the ugly ones like to tell you.

The FAA tells him the minimum number of FAs. It is something like one per
50 seats or fraction thereof.

Seats FAs
1 to 50 1
51 to 100 2
101 to 150 3
151 to 200 4
etc.

I may be in error by one at the break-points.

In any case, the requirement is Federal and doesn't care whether the seats
are occupied or not. It would seem to be an operational nightmare if the
staffing depended on how many no-shows or walk-ups there were (ie: # of
seats actually occupied).

If you are referring to American's decision to revert to tighter seat
pitch, that only applies to about 1/3 of their fleet - those used on
high density routes like to the Caribbean where vacationers seem to want
cheap over comfort. The rest of the American fleet is supposed to
remain with the larger seat pitch. They haven't completely abandoned the
idea yet.

Being mistook for "trice" is the equivalent of being
asked "What's a nice girl like you doing working in a plce like
this?"

I don't know what to suggest, as the sin of he who misattributed
thee is so grievous.

No, ma'm.....

As in your screen name above, you are "trice" until you change
it, and any capitals or lack thereof are of your own choosing
(but please don't shout and be TRICE.
