How many jump seats?

I was flying back last thursday on VS20, and I'm sure the pilot announced there were 354 passengers on board, that would make 10 people sitting on jump seats (I certainly saw some on jump seats).
Does that sound about right for an absolutely rammed flight?

The config seats 344.
so could have been him saying 344??
Max 2 jumpseats allowed so could have been, 344, 2 jumpseats and 8 babies :0 :0 :0

There were certainly a lot of babies on the flight (not good for sleeping ...), and there was definitely one couple on one set of jump seats (I think ones by the UC bar)...
I have never been on such a full flight as that one (good to see VS doing all they can to get people home though).

2 available on today's crew levels - it was previously just one.
When I flew on 'pilot's family travel', I could get jump-seat authorisation meaning I was definitely on the flight, and could go through security to the lounge, instead of hanging around the standby check-in til T-40 hoping for a spare seat.
