I was in the jumpseat today with a Delta employee who works with "Performance Graphs" in the MEL's...I didnt really understand his job description but it sounds like he updates pretty much any graph having to do with performance in our MEL's.
Anyways, I didnt even think they could jumpseat but obviously they can. He said they are allowed to "observe" even though he was using the jumpseat privilege to go on vacation.
I had to run to get on the jumpseat as I was not able to reserve it because it was a last minute kind of thing.
I think I already know the answer to this but....lets say there was already another Delta pilot listed on one of the jumpseats (It was an A320 with two jumpseats) and then this guy reserved the other jumpseat, I could have booted him off correct? I was going to work (That should not matter as he should NEVER Imo be able to bump a Delta pilot off our jumpseat. Only people that can are FAA and LCA doing a line check)
