APA got burned by language again and another item that pits pilots and FA's against each other. Not sure how many CA's will utilize this mechanism if they realize the FA will get the FA JS and the Flight deck JS gets left behind......

It's nice that you guys got the JS's included into the BOW. We need to do the same.
