Here's some trivia. If you ever jumpseat on a 737 and there's a second jumpseat, now you know why it's there. You had to have two so a fed and the third man could ride in the cockpit.

British Airways used to have a flight attendant ride on their all cargo planes. She would function as a fire guard when not serving the cockpit.
