mm320Cap,
Thanks, appreciate the thought on jumpseating.
Yes, some tests have been done. I know the exact turn you mentioned was flown on Mother's day. I got called on a day off to be the safety pilot (turned it down...Mother's Day?!). Have not heard any results yet, but probably will not hear anything until all tests are done and evaluated.
Your points are well taken. I hope (and believe) that JB has the fortitude to try something based on an honest evaluation that it will work well for all involved. I expect something that will change over time as we gain experience and feedback from the pilots, if it is approved at all.
