Well, that's what I was told. If so, I'm wondering who is the weak sister that let the AFA castrate our PIC authority.
Who knows. If true, the AFA should have pushed to have OAL F/A's allowed to occupy the F/A jumpseat instead of disallowing OAL pilots from occupying the F/A jumpseat. Granting this courtesy could come with more reciprocal agreements for their F/A group.
As an aside, is there any chance we could get the second cockpit jumpseat reinstalled at some point? As this pilot group grows, we are only going to have more commuters.
