Which configuration would require 3 POB on a CRJ 700?

• A. 50 PAX
• B. 60 PAX
• C. 70 PAX
• D. 80 PAX

Answer: (C)

The key idea is how crew requirements scale with the number of passengers. The CRJ 700 always has two pilots in the cockpit, but the need for cabin crew depends on seating. With configurations up to about sixty seats, two pilots are sufficient. Once you reach around seventy seats, regulations or operator policy typically require one cabin attendant in addition to the two pilots, bringing the total on board to three people. Configurations with fewer passengers stay at two POB, while larger configurations (like eighty seats) would usually need more than one cabin attendant, pushing POB to four or more. So seventy passengers is the point at which three POB are required: two pilots plus one flight attendant.
