I beleive there were 6 cabin crew, for a 200 seater, meaning there are 2 more crew than required. Does the M82 only have 4 cabin crew stations?"
There were 4 operating cabin crew onboard and 3 positioning crew. So she was on board as a passenger to operate a flight later from Gran Canaria. That is why she was sitting in 1E. Very common practice.
I understand there was also a third pilot onboard. I think he was on a private travel. Maybe as an extra
