No they will deadhead crews, mechanics, and some other staff in the 8-16 seats (going off 20-year old memory) on the upper deck.

Spent quite a bit of time in the cockpit, too. Good memories.

I mostly built ULDs, processed customs docs and accepted DGR back in those days. :D

My grandfather did avionics maintenance at Boeing for like 60 years, contracted out to airlines all over the place. Kuwait, Saudi, Beijing... the man had some wild stories.
