I don't believe the jumpseaters are considered part of the BOW. However, if it is a USAirways pilot wanting to occupy the jumpseat, the FOM says they take priority over all revenue passengers and cargo. So they will go no matter what. And actually the FA's have the same agreement. A jumpseating FA has priority over all passengers and cargo so they will go no matter what as well. The FOM clearly defines this. Even if a US Airways pilot shows up at the last minute, they will be allowed on, but load control MUST be notified as it will affect the W/B. So that suggests they are not included in the BOW, but if they are company crewmembers, they will get on, even if it means bumping revenue passengers or cargo...

Sorry if I started something. I appreciate the 99% of times y'all do get me home. I wish all airlines had this practice. We all know FAA standard weights are a crock any way as far as accuracy.
