When did a crash investigation find that loss of life was the result of having too few cabin crew on board. The level of cabin crew training and their ongoing competence if far more important than numbers.
One point that seems to be missed here is that commuter type aircraft which carry 19 passengers or less are not required to carry any cabin crew. One would think those of you who defend the 1:36 ratio would also have an issue with this rule.
Is this discussion really about safety or is it about supporting cabin crew jobs.
Skybed..... just where is this "cranbrock university" that you refer to and what exactly was the sound scienitific research?
