I agree. I'm frequently in the jumpseat on the E170/175. It's not too bad...I'm 5' 10", but the other day, for the first time, both pilots moved their seats back and out, and for the first time ever, I was in heaven in the jumpseat. I could extend my legs a little, at least while at cruise. It was one of the more comfortable jumpseat rides I've had.
Don't get me wrong, I'm always appreciative for the ride to or from work. And I'd never ask the pilots to do this....it's their flight. But don't feel like you have to keep the seat forward, unless that's where you want to sit.
