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 :cool:, 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! :cool:
To be honest with you. I have no idea.
Oh Zedman you know..... and everybody in the Forum knows too, you just have to get down to the metal, the basics-what is the primary duty of a FA? Trust me, you all got this!
Oups ;))
is not an acceptable answer, however Z may be on to something...but then again...maybe not.Quote:

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

I was wondering about the number.
