[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1166198, member: 12508"] to the best of my knowledge, employees can still jumpseat for business purposes. You are also correct that it was the [B]pilots [/B]who wanted personal jumpseat ended. They never liked us lowlife hourlies intruding on "their" world, which often included porn mags, inappropriate conversations, and aviation mis-cues. I once jumpseated on a 727 where the Captain and FO were arguing where the airport was (it was directly underneath us). It got pretty heated, and both of them asked me not to report their argument. Luckily, they figured out where they were and were able to land the plane...still arguing. By eliminating jumpseat, FedEx was also able to jettison the reservation system and any employees involved with it. [/QUOTE]
