ALERT! Jumpseat off limits in Brasilia
Today the FAA changed the FAR that governs flight deck doors to read that the Brasilia door must be closed/barred under any aircraft movement. This now prohibits anyone from utilizing the flight deck jumpseat in the Brasilia. The ramifications for commuting pilots are huge. This new rule does include FAA inspectors. They will now sit in the front row with a headset plugged in for check rides.
Embraer is working on a door to enclose the jumpseat. Last I heard it was due out in April.
