You can also fit the jumpseaters bag in the bag storage if you’re willing to put your bag where the flight kit used to go. I did this when I was on the guppy.

I’ll never forget my worst 737 2nd JS experience. PHL-MCO on SW back in 2006ish (pre 117). Storms rolled through right after pushback and more were on the way. We sat out there for about 5 hours before we took off. 7+ hours on that JS was agonizing.

I've chosen to not take the first jumpseat on transcon and wait for the next one!

Wait ... what? You've got a transcon commute?

I had a commute PDX-EWR when I first got hired here. Do anything to get on the list…. I spent my first seven months at United based in EWR.

Hard for many to believe that it used to be only EWR or SFO for new hires. My wife did IAD-SFO when she was a half winger for the same reason. I was lucky and only had to get up the coast to EWR.
