    Lightbulb FA's To Work "Cargo Only" Flights

    With AA's schedules slashed and planes grounded, cargo capacity has been reduced. So for the first time since the days of non-revving with timetable pamphlets and paper tickets with carbons , AA is operating "cargo-only" flights on pax aircraft - and those cargo flights require FA's.
    So, why are FA's required on cargo-only flights? Come on non-revs you got this!

    Don't overthink this, What is a FA's primary job?


    BTW, always trust your gut. It knows what your head hasn't figured out yet.

    Security of course (I got mistaken thinking that it would be a full crew on cargo plane).

    Answer accepted. FA's are on cargo planes for the same reason they're on any plane- safety/security. Cargo planes have sensitive fire detection/suppression systems-while the fire system in pax cabins have smoke/fire detectors, portable fire extinguishers and...people. FA's are on safety/fire/security (whatever you choose to call it) watch. Like I said- you know this.

    Planes have 2 to 3 FA's depending on flight, one has to be on duty all times.
