I believe the company are playing around with crewing levels this summer on high take up BOB flights to see what works. I came back from one of these destinations the other week with about 50 pax and 6 crew.
Interesting . That’s what the question was getting at! Whether this was a one off or a move to more dynamic crewing levels (or maybe there are already here and I didn’t notice - I’ve barely taken any SH in Europe for the last year).
Presumably one issue is that there can be a markedly different load in each direction.
