I would imagine a Part 91 flight anything goes for the jumpseat, but for some reason I was under the impression (since I was at a 121 carrier for a while and there were specific people who could ride on it) that it is not allowed under 135 except for inspectors/check airman.
§ 135.113 Passenger occupancy of pilot seat.

No certificate holder may operate an aircraft type certificated after October 15, 1971, that has a passenger seating configuration, excluding any pilot seat, of more than eight seats if any person other than the pilot in command, a second in command, a company check airman, or an authorized representative of the Administrator, the National Transportation Safety Board, or the United States Postal Service occupies a pilot seat.
