UA917 FRA-IAD Understaffed but 2 FA's sitting in 1st Class?

So todays flight from FRA to IAD was announced to be short of 3 FAs and hence crew would appreciate understanding if service is a bit slow.

Interesting then that there are 2 United FAs in uniform sitting in 1st class. OK so they are likely deadheading or off duty but given that the flight was short you would think they would be co-opted to help. Or at very least not take up 2 seats in 1st??

What gives?
