AWA 757 Cockpit Jumpseat

[8vATE]

Hopefully going to PHX in a week with CASS.

Only one jumpseat up there?


767 has two...
Just wondering if the AWA 757 has one or two...

thanks in advance...

They all have 2

I'm not sure if that's right. I remember something about one or two of America Wests' 757s only having one jumpseat. They were originally configured with two but for some reason they changed.

Any AWA '57 drivers know the truth?

I've seen at least one plane configured with just one jumpseat, but don't know how many others are like that.

I believe the airplanes were the previously owned Eastern Airlines aircraft. Tail number 907 was one of them. I think a/c 911 and 913 were the same way. I do not know if those planes are still on the property though.

Some only have 1 and some have 2.

They all have 2

No they do not.Some 757's have 2 and others just 1. Same with the 737.All the Airbus aircraft have 2.

Do we have any Boeings left? Every time you wake up one more has left the fleet.

I've once again proven how vast my wealth of knowledge is.

Sorry, thought they all had 2. No way for an offline guy to know until they show up at the gate.

Good luck.

Thanks for trying

I was afraid that some had 2 and some 1...

Oh well..

I can go early and get two with the A320...

If anyone has the time and motivation to see what tail number/configuration is flying the 4:30pm this coming Friday the 7th from FLL-PHX...

I'd owe you a frosty brew..
Maybe even make it an import....

thx..

They assign the "ships" 24 hours in advance (at least that is the way it used to be). There is an entry that an agent can type into the computer at the ticket counter or gate that can provide that information.

Maybe one of the AWA pilots on the board can get an agent to look that up for you. I would not suggest that you ask, as it might seem suspect to the agents. However, if you go the night before, ask about the jumpseat procedures and then ask if there is any way they can look up the a/c number to see how many jumpseats it has, then that would probably not be an issue. (I think the information in the computer says that; I used to teach the computer system for the agents.)

Of course, the ship assignment can change rapidly because of a mechanical, so the information acquired may not be accurate. I would definitely suggest, no matter which flight you decide to take, that you get to the ticket counter early. The agents there deal with a lot of elderly folks out of FLL, and it takes longer to process them. I remember one flight I worked out of there had 15 wheelchairs!

Good luck to you!
