My opinion is that:
- fact #1: two FA seats were recovered floating and clearly unused.
- fact #2: there was 9 FAs on board, and the cabin passenger seats were fully occupied.
- fact #3: but there was a crew rest module (for FAs) and possibly three FAs service slots to be filled, like for the pilots.
The only evidence behind those three facts put together is that, at this stage of the flight, at least two (but possibly three) FAs were not seated in the cabin (resting in the module?), not that it was not secured!
On the other hand, some proof that the cabin was (well) secured should be left to the forensic analysis of the recovered bodies (which is not public so far).
