Like, the 16th crew member which we lost a few years ago. It was a temporary measurement. Where is it?
MissM, back in 2001, when the 16th crew member was removed after 11th September, the B747-400 flew with up to 409 pax.
Since then we have had them reconfigured with lie-flat beds in Club, hi-Club configs on some aircraft and WTP cabins introduced. All of these changes have reduced the 409 pax to a max now of 351 pax, and sometimes as few as 291 pax.
Are you really suggesting that you still need 15 crew (let alone 16) on these flights, when the configurations have reduced by 50+ seats? Time to take a reality pill, methinks.
