Actually the entire concept of jumpseat is a union thing. It evolved from the unions and has been maintained by union airlines. When the TSA decided that the jumpseat was gone forever in 2001 it was once again the unions that spent a ton of money and effort getting it restored. By yeah *****the union. What a uneducated post.
