That means either work one bar in the back and have two crew up front, or work two bars in the back and leave CE passengers to whistle.
Or am I missing something?
Thanks

Hi Tony
The loading of crew is based on a number of factors. Aircraft type, then CE load.
For example 160 as you mentioned on a A320 will only ever have 4 cc as long as the CE load is below 16 . There is where we have a issue, with a light CE load the 4th cc should go to the rear to help but as I mentioned above they will be ineffective on a double trolley. The one cc would stay in CE to do that service there should never be a cabin or galley unattended during a flight for an extended time. We have found with 4 crew no matter what the load on a fight with CE it's best if 2 cc work one bar with both POS and leave the rest of the crew to bring supplies as needed and take care of CE and the cabin duties.
Different crew on different days will do many different things as this is been dumped on on to make it work by the company. I hope that answers your question.
Safe flying
