the same for the responses. So FA jumpseat available to pilots are industry standard?

Typically yes, but the FAs get priority at other airlines. The FAs should get priority on cabin JS at SWA also,but that is my opinion.

I believe AA is flight attendant only. No pilots.

Makes sense. They have a pretty strong and militant union. Delta has no union. Southwest operated on this strange “we are all equal” thing for 5 decades and the FA union needs some work.

Agree with Mozam. The FAs should absolutely get priority on their own Jumpseat. It’s always amazed me to see them standing 2 hours prior to a flight with their hand on the podium (yes it’s a thing with them) so that no other employee steals their ride home.
