Absolutely. A lot of guys I know won't take 135 jumpseaters (even though it's allowed) because their companies often tell them to JS to assignments when they really should have bought them a ticket.
I'm happy to help a fellow pilot out with his PERSONAL travel, but I have no interest in subsidizing his employer (who is competing for MY most lucrative customers)
