So the attempt to encourage you to see Cabin Crew as primarily performing the role of a safety critical crewmember and not as catering function was not successful. Perhaps the MAA definition might help?
From MAA Master Glossary:
Aircrew - Persons having duties concerned either with operating or the flying of Air Systems or with passengers or cargo when in flight.
Fairly clear isn’t it? Cabin Crew fall into the definition of Aircrew.
