It’s pretty silly to see a flight depart with open FA jump seat/seats with the flight deck jump seat taken and the commuting Endeavor/Delta pilot left standing there . Anyone know why this policy can’t or won’t be changed ? Some Endeavor/Delta pilots will help each other out and offer to take FA seat on their perspective Metal if available, but not very often .
I totally agree, and it's like using the unused crew rest facilities (which was finally approved), it may take just a bit of effort by the company. I suspect that the FAA may say "if they are trained on those types of doors, they can occupy the seat" which is why I suspect were trained on every type of door in the fleet when we do door training during CQ.
