Understood...no ambiguity now.
A lot of cabin crew will go the extra mile. They are not all BASSA fundamentalists.
Finally cancellation is not the only option. On some occasions it may be possible to offload a few pax if less than the minimum cabin crew so that the pax load is within the parameters for the number of cabin crew.
Not up to date on current regulations but on some small a/c it used to be 1 CC per 50 pax.
99 pax = 2 cabin crew
101pax = 3 cabin crew
