The language itself only says "jumpseat" but the section the language is in is titled "flight deck jumpseat." I'll absolutely criticize APA, and have in the past, when it's warranted. This is not their fault.

Making assumptions doesn't cut it. Until we realize we're playing checkers while others are playing chess, we're going to keep losing.
