I am looking to jumpseat with you folks later this month. Is there any easy way to tell (tail number etc.) which plane has an additional FA jumpseat? I’m with Republic and I know I can’t access the FA jumpseat but just in case there is a 9E pilot that may be able to open the flight deck jumpseat by using the additional FA js. Also, can Delta mainline pilots sit in your FA js or just Delta FAs?
Thanks and look forward to returning the courtesy on one of our planes.
Is it a 900 or a 200? If it's a 200, then there's only the cockpit jumpseat.
For 900s: any of the XJs have two jumpseats (the gate agent should see ship numbers 4901 through 4937). All of the PQs from 279PQ up have them (9279 through 9337). I can't remember whether the PXs have them, but they probably do (9478 through 9482).
The rest are a crapshoot. If the interior has been redone, then the plane probably has a second jumpseat.
Delta pilots can't use the extra FA jumpseat. The order goes 9E FAs, 9E pilots, and Delta FAs.
Good luck!
