XJT opens up FA jumpseat to OAL pilots...
 

Currently Jet Blue is the only carrier allowing this and now XJT is getting on board. Hopefully more airlines follow suit. One extra seat is sometimes all it takes. The priority for the FA jumpseat is as follows:
·Assigned FA if required to have two flight attendants on board
·Inflight personnel on Company business during an oversell situation
·XJT FA on personal travel
·Flight attendant from major carrier for which flight is being operated traveling on personal travel
·FA (with reciprocal FA jumpseat agreement in place)
·Other Continental Express/Connection (on flight operated as Continental Express) or United Express (on flight operated as United Express) flight attendant with authorized jumpseat privileges on ExpressJet
·Any FA from another airline with authorized jumpseat privileges on ExpressJet
·XJT pilots
·XJT dispatchers/mechanics
·Pilot from a major carrier for which flight is being operated traveling on personal travel – e.g. Continental/Continental Micronesia pilot on flight operated as Continental Express;
·United pilot on flight operated as United Express
·OAL pilots

Olympic Airlines? Sorry, no idea who OAL is.

this is great news!! it means offline Airlines i believe

Other Air Line

That is a good deal for you and the "green screen hell" of MEM.

i agree! I'm sure they'll add new computers now that this is available....;)

when the hell did they put a fa jumpseat in a E-145

its been there ;)

Don't worry, CAL will probably find a way to screw it up there.

XJT's EMB145 models all came with the FA/rear JS installed.

Wish this seat was available when I was commuting to MMMY every week....

HAHA, a lot of European carriers offer FA jumpseat instead of the flight deck jumpseat. I actually got stuck in JFK trying to get back to ATH right after the NYC marathon (apparently a lot of Germans were running) and I was offered the crew bunk rest under the A340-600 .. slept like a baby.

You may not have seen it as it folds up and slides behind the last row of seats on the 2 seat side of the A/C. It's kind of complicated to unfold and set up if you've never done it before. Be sure and ask the working F/A for a tutorial.
BTW, since it blocks the lav entry when it's out, usually the working F/A will ask you to get up and fold it away once above 10,000 FT and then you can sit in the main jumpseat while they perform their service.

Just be nice to them, even as a company pilot we try to make sure that the FA gets to sit down when not actively working.
