There was only one jumpseat clearly visible and I checked multiple camera angles. I think the only way to cram another one in there would be a 737 style seat which folds out in front of the cabin door. However, I saw no evidence of one. It looked to me like you could fit a few rollerboards behind the FO seat. Not as roomy as an Airbus flight deck, but very nice overall and a big step up from the 737. Loved the big windows.

Is it just me or does the cockpit sound exceptionally quiet? Not only is it roomy, but it very quiet. Check out the view of this FO landing the airplane and let me know if you agree about the low noise levels:

CSeries Cockpit Detail - ProLine Fusion
Yet another good video showing the CS300 cockpit in very good detail with an inflight tour from an Air Baltic CS300 Captain on a flight from Riga to Paris CDG:

Compare this to the "innovative" cockpit you find in the 1980s designed A321 NEO cockpit:

But we all have to admit that this matters literally zero percent in a company's decision making process to buy the plane.
There's a reason every airline in the world isn't flying dual HUD equipped all glass 757's. Economics rule the day and no one but us cares about sexy flight decks or impressive rates of climb.

I agree the C has a nice flight deck and ergos, etc.

That said, it helps that the CS100 and CS300 are the most fuel efficient and versaltile airplanes in their individual classes. I am betting the CSeries will be a winner for pax, pilots, route planners and bean counters...

The passenger is the only thing that matters. The pilots, route planners and bean counters, etc. support the passenger.

Only 1 of those 4 really matters. Unless the C-Series can provide a compelling argument that it is incrementally better for a set of passengers over competing offerings to justify buying a fleet, it just won't matter.
