Why not just say that weight restrictions won’t affect jumpseaters like United does? That way you only bump the revenue and/or fuel if there are actually jump seaters wanting to get on, not on every flight.
Details…that is fine…let’s get to those on this issue instead of opining and infighting over the actual problem. Solution is there if we could focus as work groups and workers. Company thinks we won’t, so they just enjoy the show
Fine…narrowbody…1 flight deck jumpseat and one CJ will be included in the BOW. Should a situation where a CJ goes unused..then 2 FDJ will be considered as BOW or visa versa.
figure out the Widebody, and still have the taxi fuel option for other jumpseats.
or something along those lines. Again that is the details in the solution.
