I'd like to see a little more decency and professionalism from the RAH pilots in occupying a jumpseat instead of a cabin seat to allow customers (who enable your paycheck) to get where they're going. More than once, I've had RAH crewmembers leave revenue passengers behind with no more reason than "I don't feel like it". I have NEVER had a Frontier pilot or flight attendant do that.
FAPA doesn't exist anymore. Maybe when you're back on your own, but for now FAPA's just a memory.
I don't like leaving anyone behind myself, but the Jumpseat was never intended to make sure revenue people get on. Be careful with what you want to see because if you're waiting on that Jumpseat and a positive space pilot takes it to help the gate get another HK on the plane then you'll be the one watching the plane leave you. The JS is meant for observation and crew members trying to commute.
