So your S2 allotment is going to run out very quickly and you may find nonrev difficult if your S3 is constantly getting jumped by everyone's S2.
Ouch, yeah that’s a good call. No special status for a failed jump seat attempt I guess?

Just positive space on your backup.

Also payload optimized a bunch, and you can't be saved by the JS because of the 4 man crew you mentioned.

Yeah maybe wait until the 350-1000 comes and starts on that route and see if flights are still PO'd. If they aren't then that would make it a bit more of a feasible commute.

listing for the FA jumpseat should be the easy fix to be protected from 4 man PO flights

Great idea. And if it’s PO, certainly there’s open seats somewhere after the door closes.

the risk is that if it isn’t PO, you’ll be sitting in that JS for 14 hours

Every single international flight is all S2’s. All routes. Nothing special about Australia.

Are pilots protected from PO in the FA JS?

I thought it was pilots protected in cockpit JS (only), and FAs (only) protected in the FA JS?
