Smokey,
I have used the "Lt Dan" seat (2nd j/s on the 737) many a times and thank you for letting commuters sit there when it affects the leg room of the Captain. It has saved me many times throughout the past years and I appreciate it very much.
Thanks for your post and great info.

You're welcome, Rudder! Every time I have J/S'd on Delta I have also been treated well. This issue bugs me because I just don't see any (good) reason for it to be this way & it's particularly discouraging to see the trend continue on with the bunch of new -900s ya'll are now receiving.

So...smokey23 thinks Delta pilots have the power to get more jumpseats installed. We just need to complain to management about it.
If b!tching up a storm is all pilots need to do to affect the company's decisions, why haven't you SWA guys b!tched your way into a new contract yet?

I'd rather see an intercom in the 737 that doesn't require rubber bands. I had heard they were working on a mod for it but have yet to see anything. It's ridiculous to try to communicate in that environment and pretty soon this will be our largest fleet. I wrote one of our negotiators and a fleet manager about it but it fell on deaf ears. Catch that bit of sarcasm there at the end?

I might be off here but I remember hearing something about how much the second JS costs from CAL pilots. I guess not all of their 737s had it, some of the new ones didn't (if I remember right) because CAL balked at $45K/seat to have them installed.
Multiply that over 100 B739s and that's why they're probably not ordered. Demanding that they be installed, if that's even an option, is probably not going to happen.

No. Not allowed. You have to be back there to supervise them. It's listed in the non rev booklet, look at the top right of travelnet. I think the min age they can travel unsupervised is 13...

Does the icrew swap board allow you to get a trip with less than 12 hours between rotations? Trying to pick up a 1 day with 10:30 between block out and next rotation block in... won't let me do it, though it would be a good legal layover.
I have to commute up early anyways, and someone's trying to get rid of that trip and can't (Q). I can see that waiving the 12 hours between trips would be useful. (if it ends up resulting in more productivity and less pilots required though, then I'm against it).

We were one short and curly hair width away from not getting the second jumpseat on the 321s due to the cost. Thankfully, the company is forking out the cash for that one (and also thankful for the roominess of fifi).
