    That would cost airlines a ton and raise airfare for everyone. As it is the jumpseats are only used when the aircraft if full.

    And all for what, pulling someone that will just be in a cockpit later in the day or the next day?

      Ah, your second point makes sense. Can’t keep someone that’s in a jumpseat out of the cockpit for long.
