Here's a question. What's the proper etiquette when you're on the jumpseat and the crew is doing a potty break. Do you stow the seat and make yourself as small as possible against the closet as he passes by or do you exit, let him out and re-enter?

I used to get that seat between PDX and ANC when I was commuting. Thats a long flight in that seat.

I tried googling pictures but couldn’t find anything? What did they compare to in today’s fleet?
Nothing.
In one of the jumpseats, you sit behind and to the left of the captain. The seat on the right is the engineers seat. I can't remember where the second jumpseat was, it's been a long time. It might have been against the bulkhead wall.

<sigh> on the FOs side.
Wow. You could run laps in there. I love that it looks like it's parked at an apartment complex.
I just cracked the code after two decades. "Port" is the side the jetPORT, or jetway goes on.

Mmm, I don’t think jetways existed in the 12 Century!

Looks fairly nice. I quite enjoyed the middle throne in HALs 767. Never got to fly in their 330s but heard they were even better.

I memorized it as "we left the port to go right to the stars on the horizon."

On the 330 (and I think 340) you can drop down the hatch behind the captain's seat and there is about 12 feet of tunnel through the EE compartment you can do laps in... I mean, I've heard about that.
The 330 primary jumpseat is pretty nice. The secondary is comfortable -ish as well but it sits at a slight angle and feels strange during takeoff and landing.

Worst jumpseat was the Saab. Basically a metal plate with a washcloth tossed on it as a cushion.

4th seat is kind of weird on the 747 due to the thickness and curvature of the glass. Feels like you’re gonna land in the grass.

The 767 jumpseat is not a high chair like the 757. The door is pretty much where the high chair is.

Saab 340? If that's the case, its good to know because I'm about a week away from doing my required dispatch jumpseat hours. Good thing my airline doesn't do really long flights!

It’s been a while, but I rode on a DL767 jumpseat years ago. I was far enough away that the crew forgot I was there much of the time.
