For a CRJ 700 with 70 PAX, how many POB are on board?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer: (B)

POB stands for persons on board, and in this context it refers to the crew complement, not the passengers. A CRJ 700 configured for about 70 seats typically operates with two pilots in the cockpit and one flight attendant in the cabin, giving a total of three people on board. The 70 passengers are not counted in this POB figure for the purposes of the question. If the aircraft were configured with two flight attendants, the POB would be four, but this scenario assumes one attendant, so three crew members are on board.
