What is the minimum required number of crew members for the CRJ700/CRJ900?

The minimum required number of crew members for the CRJ700/CRJ900 is two flight attendants. This requirement is established by safety regulations and operational guidelines to ensure that there is adequate crew coverage for passenger assistance, safety demonstrations, and emergency procedures in the event of an evacuation or unforeseen circumstances. Having two flight attendants allows one to focus on managing passenger needs while the other can handle emergencies and coordinate safety measures, which is particularly important given the number of passengers these aircraft can accommodate.

While some smaller aircraft may operate with just one flight attendant, the CRJ700/CRJ900's configuration and passenger capacity necessitate having two to maintain safety and effective service standards.
