Dash-8 Jumpseat?

[PreContact]

Do USAir's have one? Thanks

Yeah, but the -100s are worthless.

300s are a lock.

I see

Thanks, looking to jumpseat possibly, summer loads may be forced to the cockpit...

Even in summer the 100's is useless!! Not unless we have like 4 kids in the back you won't be able to ride it. Those new weights since that 1900 crash in CLT has made the JS on the 100's a piece of useless furniture!!!
300's No Problem..... 200's if any left, no problem... Good Luck!

And in my opinion, much more comfortable than the CRJ/ERJ jumpseat. Well, I guess as comfortable as a commuter aircraft jumpseat can get I suppose.

I don't bother running numbers anymore to see if we can take a jumpseater. If its a -100, the answer is no. If its a -300, the answer is yes.

I still try to get as much on as possible in the 100, but it won't take a full boat unless there are very few bags.

The Dash does have a pretty roomy jumpseat. Sitting between the walls even gives you provisions for ops checking your eyelids after a long day, and has enough leg room to be somewhat comfortable. I prefer it over a seat in the back on a full flight.

agree. the erj/crj jumpseat is absolutely horrible. the dash has plenty of room, but like you guys said, it's always a weight issue in the 100's.
