"The CAA only allows 3 aircraft on one flying licence so mixing Airbus family, B757, B767, B747 and B777 onto one licence"

Can we nail this on the head once and for all. Cabin Crew are NOT licenced.

Cabin Crew operations are regulated under JAR-OPS Sub part O. Cabin Crew are qualified by their company to work on aircraft operated by that company.

<<SECTION 1 JAR-OPS 1 Subpart O
SUBPART O – CABIN CREW
JAR-OPS 1.990(b)(2) (continued)
JAR-OPS 1.988 Applicability
(See IEM OPS 1.988)
[(a) A cabin crew member is a person who is
assigned by the operator to undertake tasks in the
cabin and shall be identifiable by virtue of an
operator’s cabin crew uniform to passengers as a
cabin crew member. Such persons shall comply with
the requirements of this Subpart and any other
applicable requirements of JAR-OPS 1.

[JAR-OPS 1.989 Terminology
Cabin Crew Member; A crew member, other than a
Flight Crew Member, who performs in the interests
of safety of passengers, duties assigned by the
operator or the commander of the aeroplane>>

Flight Crew also operate under JAR-OPS - Sub Part N. However they are licenced under JAR-FCL. For fixed wing operations it is JAR-FCL 1, Helicopters JAR-FCL 2, Medical matters are dealt with under JAR-FCL 3 and Flight Engineers under JAR-FCL 4.

There is no is no JAR-FCL for cabin crew. They are not licenced.

For information JAR-OPS regulations on Cabin Crew operating on more than one type are as follows:

<<JAR-OPS 1 Subpart O SECTION 1
1.1030 Operation on more than
one type or vari ant
(See ACJ OPS 1.1030)
An operator shall ensure that each cabin
crew member does not operate on more than three
aeroplane types except that, with the approval of the
Authority, the cabin crew member may operate on
four aeroplane types, provided that for at least two of
the types:
(1) Non-type specific normal and
emergency procedures are identical; and
(2) Safety equipment and type specific
normal and emergency procedures are similar.
(b) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (a)
above, variants of an aeroplane type are considered
to be different types if they are not similar in each
of the following aspects:
(1) Emergency exit operation;
(2) Location and type of portable safety equipment; and
(3) Type specific emergency procedures.>>
