Is sleeping allowed on a jumpseat?

• A. Yes, at all times
• B. No, sleeping is prohibited
• C. Only during long flights
• D. Only when parked

Answer: (B)

Sleeping on a jumpseat is not allowed because that seat is a safety-critical space where crewmembers must be awake and ready to respond immediately to instructions, safety checks, or emergencies. Being alert ensures you can quickly assist passengers, coordinate with the flight deck, and deploy safety equipment if needed. If rest is required, use the designated crew rest facilities during authorized off-duty periods, not the jumpseat. This keeps the crew prepared and the flight safe at all times.
