No.

What I'm saying is that I don't think cabin crew jump seats should be used for anyone other than operating cabin crew.

I don't think that they should be generally available to anyone whether they be the family of cabin crew, tech crew or Alan Joyce.

My point is that you lot [pilots] wouldn't be supporting the use of those seats for the family of cabin crew if the situation was reversed.

Not because you are priques by the way but because I'm certain you would identify that from an operational perspective the policy is flawed.

It's my firmly held view that it's supported by pilots only because you've lost due to a change in regs any autonomous alternative.

Forgive me but you blokes [and girls] are professionals [funbags excluded] and I find this policy operationally flawed and the position of pilots who support it, hypocritical.
