I respectfully disagree with this statement. I would also have to venture that you don't use it often nor commute. There were times after 9/11 where it seemed like I spent more time in the JS on a 757 or an Airbus than I did in the flying the Dornier. And whatever you did back in your days in JS'ing on TWA, you can't argue, being in the airlines was night and day different than it is now, in A LOT of ways.

I forgot to add in my previous post. Plane got to the gate, parking brake is set. I always wait for them to finish the parking checklist before I move. They do, CA looks at me and says "you can pop the door and split at any time. You see the other jumpseater on the way out, tell him to come up here, I want to talk to him"

Like I said, do whatever YOU want when using the JS privelege.
