Malaysian Crew Complement

[5711N0205W]

Flew KUL - AMS today with Malaysian (777 200), really good on board service and nice food but that's an aside.

While waiting in the gate I'm sure I counted 6 flight crew of various stripes going on board. Relief crew yes on a 12 hr plus flight but would you make that up from 6 or would there be some other reason for that number, I'm pretty sure I didn't miscount.

Could have been deadhead crew

You're probably right, thinking about it one set did get off with the pax whereas I assume operating crew would come off afterwards.
