Thanks for the info on traveling w/ kids in the back. I think this will work.
Next question - What's the rule on non-reving AND booking the jumpseat. It's one or the other correct? Can you list for both and then decide at time of checkin which one you're going to take?
Thanks - Baja.

I tried to explain how this was a 737 problem as Southwest and American have a solution to this problem. The solution that we are banned from using.
I then called the 737 Fleet Manager and spoke with him. He stated that they had just finished a noise study and it was inclusive. He was disappointed but was continuing to fight this problem. He told me that if nothing changed in the next few months I should write another FCR. But not on every flight.
If we don't complain and write it up it's not going to get fixed.

At Alaska they used the rubber band method for a few years. Mngt then changed the audio panels to one that had a locking 'mic' switch. I don't know why we can't get our new jets to have the locking mic switch. Run that up the Chain of Command and see what they say.

What happens when we get a new tablet as far as "validation?"
Are they going to put paper pubs back in every airplane? Will we need to carry two tablets?
Another issue we wouldn't have with an iPad.

Better get used to it.
After only 6 months, I've almost figured out how to use my tablet! As soon as I do figure it out, I'm sure they will give us the next version and I'll have to learn it all over again!
