Exactly.
I was commuting out of Fargo some time ago on a Delta flight. Cockpit jumpseat came down to me and a US Air Express (PDT) pilot. I decided to give it to her, as I had a backup on a later flight.
Then the flight has a "no-show" at the last minute. (Someone checked-in online, but never made it to the gate.) The end result is the PDT pilot made it to work, and I had a first class seat on the flight as it was too late to upgrade anyone and put me in the back.
Karma works in mysterious ways sometimes.
