Narrative:
During a short flight due to air interrupt, mia tower requested number of people on board. The number of people can't be determined by the load closeout because the number of flight attendants is not included. We know how many cockpit crew are on board of course, but it would be great if total souls on board were provided via the closeout. Since this is a 2-PERSON cockpit this would make things easier.
