Default Offline Intl JS

Colleagues,

Curious if there is any movement on this subject at all or still the status quo ?

Unfortunately, no movement on international jumpseats.

There is a unique culture towards jumpseaters at Purple. I don’t see there being any traction towards allowing international offline jumpseaters anytime soon. COVID will only further push back progress which I don’t believe had started going anywhere before COVID.

Not at all.

I *believe* that since on most of our int'l flights the off-line jumpseater would be in the cockpit j/s, TSA does not allow it (nor at any other airline).

Atlas/Southern and Kalitta both offer cockpit jumpseats on international flights. Not a shot at FedEx, your js program is the best in the business, but it isn’t a regulatory issue.

Do they have reinforced cockpit doors that keep jumpseaters outside the cockpit?

That isn't the issue. I​​​​​ believe it is more the way their ops specs are written that allows it. It's a great benefit and one I hope will extend to the rest of the cargo operators someday.

Do you mean doors like our MD-11s have?
