The Ops Agent (gate agent in the normal airline world) has the option of sticking DHs on the jumpseat on flights that are less than 2 hours long if the cabin is full. Yup. You read that right.

That sucks for commuters....that is the first time I've heard a pax airline can force DH's in the JS. Are there others?

I am all for the "at pilot's discretion" if they want to ask the CA for the JS to help get a non rev or a revenue pax on, but a gate agent plopping you up there without the agreement of yourself or the Captain?!

If you want to volunteer to help get a nonrev on be damn sure there is not a guy at the end of the nonrev list trying to commute.
