What is true is that if there are any pax an board, you need that minimum amount of flight attendants.

LX A343 require a min crew of 8 for the exit doors, but usually have upto 10 FAs, if required.

current service in F on ZRH-BKK-ZRH
what is the service like for F passengers currently on this route re lounges, pick up/drop off, food & beverage in comparison to pre-covid time
with the F lounges closed on both sides and reduced other services is it worthwile to fly F instead of C? what is the service in C currently?

The inflight service is unchanged from the food offering, there are some adjustments to the service, for instance that the starters / cheese and deserts will not be served infront of you from a cart, you will make the order and your plate will be prepared in the galley.
Ground service at ZRH gives 0 benefits at this stage, the little closed off area in the SEN lounge is a joke and doesn't provide additional benefits. Not sure if and what for ground services are available at this stage at BKK though.
Bottom line, currently if someone decides to fly F it's mainly for th onboard portion, ground services / benefits within LH group are quite limited or in the case of LX non existent.

I heard in the meanwhile that TG has reopened its Royal Orchig lounge at concourse E West on 10. Nov. It hat a small First Class section but it's not really comparable with another F lounge.
Have not heard about the other *Alliance lounges of SQ, BR and TK
