Let’s say a brand new 737 comes online to United (737’s only have 1 jumpseat)
and in this scenario let’s say this flight is completely booked. Would United really kick a paying pax off to get a jumpseater on or am I missing something?
Yes they would. It was policy on our 757’s that only had one JS.
Jumpseaters are also included in the BEW of the jet so they can’t be refused for weight/performance restrictions.
