He was told "that with an additional jumpeseater it is too crowded with a double crew". I guess with the seats in the back plus the rest facilities, the largest plane on the property still wasn't roomie enough for this guy. Can any 777 guys weigh in on this please?
Most guys spend most of their break time in the bunk. Even if you're reading or watching videos it's more comfortable.
There's a few that don't use the bunks. I don't know why. They stay in the courier seats, sometimes killing all the lights back there. Maybe they don't want any company.
I don't have any problem with jumpers on the 777. You're welcome anytime, and I think the vast majority of the other pilots feel that way. I think ALPA needs to step in here.
