Totally spitballing here, but would providing rear cabin jumpseat access on our planes that do have them move the needle for you at all?

With that being said, I think it's ridiculous that our aft FA jumpseats go unused. Who would you rather have opening that door when **** hits the fan. Scared out of their mind, not paying attention to the FA safety demo pax, or a trained pilot, fa, or even dispatcher. Even if they are truly oal, get that person to work so they can pay for their bills, or get them home so they can see their family.
Same with AA FA jumpseats. Can you confirm that an AA pilot may not occupy a FA js on AA metal? Seriously, why?

I can understand not letting that extra seat on the plane, this week it’s just for commuters, next week it’s for non revs, after that it will “only” be used if the flight is oversold and finally it would just be a normal seat.
