1900's have only 19 seats which by the regs don't require an FA. The FO does the safety brief and evac brief to the passengers and ensures the door is locked and seat belts fastened

What extra duties are required of the First Officer, you mean...LoL
It means YOU are the F/A!! Go ahead and practice your safety-briefing now ;-)
P.S. they don't fly with F/A's because the aircraft doesn't warrant it...Not required on smaller T-Props.

You'll walk thru and check lap belts, brief peeps sitting in the exit row and the person(s) closest to the main cabin door. If you're lucky the autobriefer is working or else you'll read the script over the PA from your seat. That's how it worked when I flew the Beech anyway. Not for either of those airlines though.

Just like in any other Aircraft, it's all got a...whats a good word for it...personal touch!
LoL don't worry man - don't let that make or break flying a T-Prop for ya...if you want to work there, you won't be doing it for too long anyway!
