Jumpseaters are also included in the BEW of the jet so they can’t be refused for weight/performance restrictions.
no they are not included in the basic weight, this is a misconception. However mainline jumpseaters can’t be restricted for weight purposes. In other words if a jump seater shows up and the A/C has a weight restriction, weight will be removed in other areas either by taking off cargo or a pax.
If the jumpseater weight was already included, there would not be a weight increase when a jumpseater is added to the FWM
