questions about jumpseating.....

[BayouMLU]

I had the misfortune of sitting jump seat in an SF340. Thankfully it was for less than an hour.

I sat jump on the 777 a few weeks ago from HNL-SFO. full on seats with a center armrest and cupholders. I would take that oer a middle seat in coach any day!

 

[thewaffles]

A320s are great, even with two j/s up front. E190's, feel like you're flying on Spirit. :stir:

 

[MT]

Hey. Spirt comes with complementary knee defenders.

 

[Burrito]

Charges extra for the cupholders though

 

[pljenkins]

That's a $30 fee to bring your knees onboard.

 

[deltabobo]

Don't they charge for deep vein thrombosis? My bad...that's complimentary on the ERJ jumpseat.

The MD 80 must be about the worst, jumpseat out of ORD and the back is the cockpit door w/ an old ironing board cover ...Very good for the posture though

My vote goes for the 757 seat behind the captain. Whoever came up with that design needs to be shot and reshot in an episode of walking dead!

i got to sit on the 787 jumpseat last week-- was pretty awesome. Worst so far is the EMB135/145.

 

[PHL_Approach]

Yea the 145 is the worst ever. I always say it's as if Embraer designed the thing, built it and placed the flightdeck bulkhead where they wanted (extremely close to the throttle/radio stack) and then said "$&@t! We forgot the Jumpseat! Throw it in there anyway. Jumpseaters don't need legroom"

 

[Cazadores]

DC-10. Best jumpseat.

 

[757Geek]

While I do love the 757 (hence the name) I will agree, the jumpseat sucks pretty bad. Don't have a problem with any other ones, except the EMB-145. Even the CRJ-200 is more comfortable. Never had to sit up front in a prop, but from what I hear, its pretty bad.

2nd jumpseat in the 737 apparently was designed for people missing their left arms.

 

[BayouMLU]

Worst jumpseat: Saab340

 

[Luigi]

I agree with @pljenkins the 737 2nd Jumpseat is the absolute worst.

 

[DispatcherSam]

I think you'd be lucky to get an infant to fit in that one

complete with your very own footrest too! Must be an MD thing because the 10s and 11s have them too.

Not sure how much more "advanced" the 88 is over the original 80 but one of my favorite jumpseat rides was on the former. Not comfortable ,but I like the old-horse feel of it. Lots of bells and whistles. It forces them to do a little extra work before leaning back and talking about the boats they just bought with their new big-shot paychecks they get flying mainline.

Also designed for people with no legs
