Now its a pilot in the cockpit jumpseat but let's say.... a reservation agent... or someone from Technology.... or someone from Customer Relations on the FA jumpseat....
With your reasoning the pilot should stay in the cockpit because he or she knows that job and how to stay out of the way up there and the non-FA who doesn't know the FA job or how to stay out of our way should get the cabin seat.
For me…the less crowded I am the better. I don’t know the clearing priority but I’d prefer the cockpit jumpseater get a seat in back if there is one.
I’m sure FA’s would prefer less crowding in the galley, but a crowded galley doesn’t affect the operation of the airplane moving through the sky. I have to scoot way forward and can’t fly the leg if there’s 2 jumpseaters up front. It’s uncomfortable and we already can’t move around since we’re trapped up front.
