I'm sure it met the minimum from a safety point of view, but it really wasn't good from a passenger perspective. If there was a crew issue, I'm glad the flight wasn't cancelled, but I just hope that this isn't/doesn't become regular practice.
The legal requirement is 1 FA per 50 pax, so 5 FAs would be the minimum for the 76L (210 pax). The normal 76L international flight is staffed with 7 FAs, and could go up to 8 FAs (the extra is the "load factor FA" and depends on what the anticipated BE load will be).
When there are 8 FAs, four will work BE, and four will work in Y. If it's 7 FAs, then it's 3 in BE, 3 in Y, with one floater.
