Hey,
Does the Boeing 717 still require 2/4 pilots/cabin crew?
I found it odd last time I played that it while it carries less pax, it needs 4 cabin crew compared to the MD80s, DC9s, and 737-1/2/300 which all only need 3 cabin crew.
I wish crew requirements were programmed based on how many seats you have configured on any aircraft...150 being the bump from 3/4 for example.
No, flight attendants are actually modeled quite well. They really depend on the number of emergency exits that there are on board.

At school an former engineer of the bankrupted Fokker said that the maximum number of seats in an aircraft depends on the number of emergency exits, the number of flight attendants depends on the number of seats. You can search it in the certification specification (CS-23/CS-25) ;)

Usually but not always. Number of exits may cause a higher requirement than the 1/50 rule, one CA per door pair at least... (though off the top of my head can't think of a plane that is affected .. but for example you couldn't fly A321 with 100 seats and 2 Ca's. It will need at least three I believe.. but normally 4 of course as it has so many seats)

Hm... strange... they never told us about that last year...

Is this how it's calculated in game?
I just noticed the MD90 also requires 4 while the rest require 3.
