As an aside, I don't remember the TechOps situation in LAS (inhouse vs contracted, warehouse situation)

Also, as there are not 4 seats listed as occupied, I would imagine it left without FAs aboard, though I could be wrong.
Are FAs required on ferry flights, similar to staffing on cargo-only flights?
