Funny - my profile pictures is also standing in front of an NK turbine (yes, I do have SIDA and escort privilege)

I forget the minimum staffing numbers, but even on a large widebody the number isn't that high.

There's FAA required staffing and then there's air line required staffing. SJA requires a full complement of FAs to board. That's why, when one or more are running late, they will get the ready reserve FA's from the crew lounge to board.

I know, but just for arguments sake, even though the jet may have been below minimum staffing (if at all), the passenger wasn't seconds from death.
 
We live in a world where every iPhone can be the source of the next PR disaster.

So don't go porky-pigging it in a turbo fan when those outside the know can catch you.
 
I'm willing to bet there's more to the story and the passengers were actually inside the terminal who reported this. The aircraft apparently was on a ground stop to NYC so the crew decided to kill time. The mad passengers see the crew "goofing around" and decides the media needs to know.
 
I think the issue is that a flight attendant working the flight was not on board the aircraft when there were passengers on aircraft. I'm guessing the FAA frowns on not having the required component of flight attendants.
I'm pretty sure I read that the flight had yet to board.
 
Some passengers who had just boarded a Spirit Airline plane at O'Hare looked out the window and saw a flight attendant posing inside the jet engine well. One of the passengers contacted the I-Team in disbelief, asking if it was part of a new pre-flight checklist. When this flight attendant ended up working their flight, they took down her name and later found she had posted the pictures on her Facebook page.

Wow. Some • put a LOT of effort into up this girl's day.

10 bucks says a woman ratted her out.
