You find it embarrassing? GMAB. you must be tiny and not need the leg room. I’m not sitting crapped so some cheap pilot who doesn’t want to buy a ticket can make my trip miserable. I guess that’s the joys of controlling the jumpseat. I think all the second jump seats should be removed. P.S. where is this placard that says you can’t put your seat back? I don’t see one.

Wow! I would definitely say you aren’t a commuter. Remove all the second jumpseats. Who do you think you are? Your 6’5”. Who cares. I get not wanting a second jumpseat on a long flight but on a one or two hour flight? Really.

I've ridden the second jumpseat about five times. Once from PHL-PHX. I've always been extremely grateful and SWA crews have always been accommodating. Thank you!!

Did you read my post above? So why don’t you read before you comment. P.S. I am a commuter.

Some of our planes don’t even have the second jumpseat. 2 or less Hr is acceptable....over that it is not. Just my view.

At least there’s not a line from nose to tail to use the lav on a widebody. Two aisles mean people aren’t tripping over each other as much.

No food, and more importantly no electrical outlets for charging is a bigger issue for a 7 hour flight in my opinion.

All hearsay to me, but I’ve flown with an OAK CKAM a few times who’s deep in the ETOPS program. According to him, the state of Hawaii came to us and asked us to fly inter island as they’re not fond of Hawaiian “taking advantage of the residents”. I can believe it. He also stated a potential plan of ferrying out a small fleet of 700 NG’s and having them dedicated to that.

As a commuter who used to jump on SW all the time, that second seat is invaluable. Don’t make your mind up just yet. On longer flights, I’d talk to the CA and then the A Fa and ask through 10k if I could come in the back and sit in the extra FA seat. Every time they were ok with it. I’d help with trash (if they wanted help), read etc. I’d come back towards end of descent and it wasn’t too bad for anyone.

Valid proposal. I’m basing it on the idea that there is a 4th in the seat. If so that technically wouldn’t be acceptable assuming the seat belt sign would ever have to be turned on. But I get your idea.
