Sleeping in the Jumpseat?

I was never offended by it. But, for the most part, they stayed awake - especially the ones that wanted to carry on a conversation about nonsense. I really wish those folks would goto sleep. :)

Anyway - so long as they were awake while below 10k we really didn't care.
 
I tried "resting" my eyes yesterday in the jumpseat on F9. I couldn't sleep or even close my eyes because the crew had the temp in the cockpit, and FWD cabin at 68F and the rear at 66. The cargo pit was 62. I felt like slapping them on the back of the head for being so clueless. The hardest part about jumpseating is being a fly on the wall. Unless of course you see a safety problem.
 
Yeah that to those who said if Joe had been up front on 3407 it wouldn't have happened.... I don't think sleeping on the jumpseat is a big deal (especially not after seeing numerous NWA old-hat 74 CAs do it).... but as far as "needing" someone during a critical phase... if you're asleep on the jumpseat below 10 and we feel we need ya, you'll be woken up.

I have "spoken up" during a red-eye that I commuted from PDX to ATL.... they were given an altitude, read it back correctly, but spun it 100 feet off and confirmed with each other the incorrect alt.... so I said something.... just, "hey, I think they may have said xxx alt not yyy"....
 
I think the question should be "is anyone a big enough tool to wake somebody else up while they are sleeping."
