Sadly news !
Just a question. The number of 9 Crew members seems very important for an MD82.
Normal crew should be 6 (4 cabin crew for 200 pax and 2 cockpit crew).
I don't think a third pilot on a such leg is needed, and even we are in a very high loaded period, 3 more flight attendants seems very important.
Anyone has an idea ?
ninemsn in Australia is reporting that 4 crew were travelling as passengers on the flight... Also reporting 4 Lufthansa pax and 2 Swiss Citizens.
