FYI this is false. Just had an XJT guy in our jumpseat the other day. They just recieved an alert bulletin from their company within the last two weeks that changes the policy. Now the second jumpseat can be occupied by any FA and XJT pilots ONLY. It is very clear that effective immediately no OAL pilot may occupy this seat. It sux big time as a commuter but don't shoot the messenger.
