Does anybody know for sure if the 757-300s have two jumpseats or only one? I am going from SFO to OGG today and the flight went from wide open to completely full. I am currently the only one listed for the jumpseat, but it would be nice to know if their are two or only one.

 

The 757-300s all have 2 jumpseats

 

Also, for future reference, if you're on the UAL seniority list there are two available seats, even if there's only one in the cockpit. Because some have one and some have two there's an agreement that if two pilots need a jumpseat they'll block a passenger seat for the second pilot if the plane only has one cockpit seat. From the union,

"For 757 aircraft that do not have a second flight deck jump seat, United will ensure availability of one confirmed cabin seat for use by a Jump Seat eligible United pilot. Access to occupy this alternate seat is limited to United (s-CO & s-UA) pilots, when more than one request for Jump Seat access has been made at least 20 minutes prior to scheduled departure."

 

Thank you !

 

right. I was just reading through those procedures, trying to make sure that the rules applied to legacy CAL metal, but since they already have 2 jumpseats there is no need. Thanks for the reply

That always makes you REAL popular with passengers and fellow coworkers.

 

I know right? How dare we insist to actually use our contractual rights.

 

Awesome cut and paste, jetlink! I printed that and tossed it in my flight bag.

 

Quick question.....whats the difference between a SJ1A and an SJ1U?
