If you have 150 pax (needing 3 FA) and 180 seats (but did not sell/use the remaining 30), is that OK in the eyes of the FAA, or would they have to be unusable seats?
They must be blocked, but it's not exclusively an FAA rule in that LH physically blocks a few seats on some intraEU routes in order to fly with fewer FAs.
