If there is another jumpseater (on or off line) take the FA jumpseat or your assigned seat in back. I have commuted for 16 years to every former NWA base except MEM and have sat on many a FA jumpseats. Even ANC-MSP (5 hr leg door 3L on a 757) after flying those aweful 2 leg transpacs (HKG-KIX-ANC, or TPE-NRT-ANC(time awake approx 30hrs)) to accomadate other non revs and offline jumpseaters. Take care of each other and if you can take care of the customers. Kindergarden ****. Not that hard.
So much for the pilots at majors being militant about it.
