PIC ALLOWS WIFE TO OCCUPY PLT JUMP SEAT AS A NON ESSENTIAL COCKPIT OCCUPANT FOR TKOF LNDG.

Narrative

WHILE CONDUCTING A PAX FLT AS PIC; THE ACFT BECAME FULL OF REVENUE PAX. AT THIS POINT; I ELECTED TO PLACE MY WIFE IN THE COCKPIT; PLT JUMP SEAT; SO THAT SHE WOULD NOT BE DELAYED BY SEVERAL HRS AWAITING THE NEXT FLT. ON THE RETURN FLT THE NEXT MORNING; THE SAME OVERSOLD SIT OCCURRED AGAIN. NOT SEEING THE HARM IN HAVING HER OCCUPY THE JUMP SEAT; SHE WAS AGAIN PLACED IN THE COCKPIT JUMP SEAT AND FLOWN TO THE NEXT DEST WITH MYSELF OPERATING AGAIN AS PIC. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY STUDIES DONE CONCERNING THE DANGERS OF NON-CERTIFIED JUMP SEATERS; AND THROUGHOUT MANY OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD THIS IS NOT A PROB. HOWEVER; I'M SURE IN CERTAIN SITS THIS COULD POSSIBLY POSE AN ADDED BURDEN ON THE CREW. PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER; THAT MANY NON PLT EMPLOYEES ARE LISTED IN OUR FLT OPS MANUAL THAT RANGE FROM OWNERS; PRESIDENTS; VICE PRESIDENTS; ETC; THAT IN CERTAIN SITS COULD POSSIBLY POSE AN ADDED BURDEN ON THE CREW. IN ENDING; I BELIEVE THE POLICY IN EFFECT AT THIS TIME NEEDS TO BE STUDIED AND REVIEWED REGARDING ITS FAIRNESS AND TRUE DANGERS.
