      They already do that. However, if all the passenger seats are full (which isn’t uncommon) there is usually at least 1 but sometimes multiple jump seats on aircraft that allow airlines to move around pilots and other crew members to different airports. Airlines usually let other airlines fly their competitors staff because they also reciprocate when they need it.

      Restricting the crew seats to just unsold passenger seats will likely have a huge impact to operations and ALL the different airlines’ bottom lines.
