Yeah, I know. But my thought is that if you physically remove enough seats from the aircraft, I think the required number of FA's would decrease. It's based on 1 FA per 50 physical seats.
If you're only going to fill 60% of your seats anyway due to COVID.
Example:
737 with 200 (ish) seats (now) = 4 FA min crew
737 with 40% removed...120 seats = 3 FA min crew
(I know what you're thinking: FA's must love me. This brainstorm just eliminated at least 30% of them until growth comes back)
