Aircraft F/A Staffing?

[crj58]

Is UA now just flying their a/c with the FAA minimum F/A complment or
or do you still work with extra F/As?
US has been minimum crew since I can remember and America West never had
any extras while I was there.

The only thing they have reduced this far is - on the 757 Going to 4 f/as on flights 4 hours and under, transcons still have 5 f/as... JFK - BOS - DCA - PHL etc, still have 5 f/as on flights to the west coast... I think everything else is still the same...

Widebodies generally have several above FAA mins. Narrowbodies, generally mins (except 757s in some cases, as noted above).

Staffing has just been reduced to 11 on the triple 7: First 2, Business 4, Economy 4, plus the Purser, who floats throughout...
