What is the minimum crew complement?

• A. 2 FAs
• B. 4 FAs
• C. 3 FAs
• D. 5 FAs

Answer: (C)

The minimum crew is determined by how many passenger seats the airplane is certified to carry, using a simple rule: one flight attendant for every 50 seats, rounding up to the next whole number. This ensures there are enough crew members to assist passengers and evacuate if needed. For Breeze’s typical configuration of the A220-300 with about 134 seats, you’d calculate 134 ÷ 50 = 2.68. Rounding up gives 3. So at least three flight attendants are required as the minimum crew on that aircraft. If the airplane had 100 seats or fewer, two flight attendants would suffice; for larger configurations (for example, 151–200 seats), four flight attendants would be required, and so on.
