Why not have that for the 737 since the company is unwilling to retrofit the 2nd j/s into the older NG airframes? It's wonderful that the new deliveries have two, but we have far more 737's with only one j/s.
Thoughts?
That was negotiated pre-merger as part of the UAL contract. When the merger happened, none of the CAL guppies had 2 jumpseats, so we inherited that. At least now its been corrected. Maybe in the new contract they’ll negotiate something like that. Would be nice.
