OCCR, why would you buy backup tickets for your family when you want them to travel on
YOUR flight, you know, the one you are operating??????
Sure, buy backup tickets when you are all travelling as a family on holidays, but when
YOU are operating on the flight, you want your family to travel
with you, and that is what we are talking about here, your family using assist seats when the crew member is operating, either tc or cc. It's not rocket science.
Sounds like the LHCC protecting their little empire. Imagine if all the techies over the last thirty years had said no to all LHCC commuters from using the jump seats on the flight deck, due to 'impinging' on our work environment. Imagine all the LHCC that wouldn't have got to work, or would have bought full fare tickets on Ansett, Virgin; even backup tickets! There would have been an uproar, 'stuck up techies' won't give up their jumpseats etc etc etc. You can't win with you guys, always want it your way.
