Same. And I’ll plan around 73’s if I see I might end up in the jumpseat. The regular one is already more uncomfortable than the 2nd on a 75.

All 757s in our fleet have 2 JS… All of the single JS 75s we former UAL PW birds. They have been long gone…

yes I’m serious. Was just on the 737 Jumpseat the other day, and I was thinking there is no way in hell you could put another jumpseat in here.

but I guess like another poster said they made it possible.

I guess you must be cuddling with the other Jumpseater. Kind of comical if you ask me.

I guess you could ridicule me as well for thinking you could put three jumpseats in there.

Its not terrible if the Captain is generous with his seating position , I wouldn’t do it for a transcon tho ha

All MAX 737s have two jumpseats. 17 NG 737s also have two.

These are the 17 NG tails numbers.

A seat is a seat & as a guppy driver, I’m happy to welcome anyone into JS2 who needs it to get where they’re going. I do recommend a little expression of gratitude to the captain, though, who basically can’t slide his seat back from the takeoff position for the entire flight.

which is yet another reason you are a proven A-hole. I’ve accommodated a guy on JS2 from SEA-IAH…..and yes, it sucked. The dude was extremely grateful and I made a huge difference for him. What comes around goes around…..which is probably how you ended up being so charming. (Sarcasm….in case it’s not obvious)
