SIGN me up for that job! About the only thing you can do from the jumpseat is hit the ACARS printer. At least when QANTAS had F/Es on the 767 they had Boeing add a panel. If I recall, it had the engine A/I switches on it.
Busboy, I thought all the 727s will be be gone in a couple years. And haven't all the Tens been MDized? That leaves A-300s. They still in the fleet plan? I'm way out of the loop.
