The FAA minimum crew on the 757 is how many flight attendants?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer: (B)

The key rule tested is how the FAA determines minimum flight attendants: one attendant is required for every 50 passenger seats, rounded up to the next whole number. A 757 used for domestic service typically carries about 200 passengers, and 200 divided by 50 equals 4, so the minimum crew is four flight attendants. If the aircraft had more seats—say 201–250—the minimum would rise to five, and with 251–300 seats it would be six. In the common 757 configurations, four is the baseline minimum.
