Now the bad news, Supposedly we also lose the use of the crew rest bunk jump seat for jump seaters. So we go down to only being able to have 2 jump seaters domestically vs. the 3 currently allowed when you're un-augmented, 1 j/s when there are three pilots and 0 when there are 4 pilots. So all the people who like to risk the J/s to Japan watch out, it might get you left behind.
The new 787 deliveries won't have the Overhead Flight Crew Rest (OFCR) occupiable for takeoff and landing??
