The "joke" - and it`s NO joke - is the 1:50 is based on SEAT number capacity of the aircraft and not ACTUAL passenger number.

The company I work for (which uses a strict 1:50, and NEVER more) OFTEN runs full seats PLUS infants!! eg B737-400 (150 seats) operating 150 PLUS 15 INFANTS and still only 3 F/A`s.

UNSAFE! Stop Australia from being dragged DOWN in Safety. It is quite simply greedy managements` way of trying to add MORE to their bonus!
