There never was a seat for the crew chief, and when I was on Journey, there was no seat as he could not do his job had there been one. Once take-off power was set, it was the crew chief who kept and eye on the engine gauges and guarded the throttles.

For a number of years, Sentimental Journey did have the Crew chef stand on TO and landing.

However, about 20 years ago a retractable seat was designed for the crew chief and obtained FAA approval. I believe it is the only one like it.

The designation was changed from flight engineer to crew chief as they were not licenced F/F's
