Just a figment of my imagination...wow. Such a convincing illusion! I even see people who are part of this imaginary FAPA. I need to get help.

And what would you say to the passenger who paid several hundred dollars and misses dinner with their family. You know, the one who paid the ticket so that you can have a job? That's what happened in both cases that I was referring to. Deadheading crewmembers didn't want the jumpseats, and 5 passengers were put in the situation that you find so awful when it happens to you. There were no OAL jumpseaters involved. Try again with the logic thing.

If you are so certain that what you are doing is the right thing to do, I would just ask that you go and talk to the passenger you're causing to be left behind, and explain to them that they're SOL because "I don't feel like it", and "I'm not the one who oversold the flight". Or is your message more "I'm doing it for your own good"?
