There are what they call jump seats for crew as temporary seats for
landing and taking off and maybe clear air turbulence. These must have
been full too.
Generally the jump seats are filled by the regular crew. Don't know
about that particular jet, but many have a jump seat in the cockpit for
things like check rides by supervisory pilots, etc., If you got three
and needed four, I wonder if the cockpit seat was available and they
screwed up that much more.
