Chippy 24 Crew.?? Well it was a 747-300, which would normally carry 16 or 18 crew. If TAAG were "Economising" like one of my former employers, extra crew deadheading on the way out, woke up on the ground in Paris, and swapped with their Buddies, it would may be possible to do a turnround with minimum crew if the max pax rules were applied using the booked SLF figures.
