Ok here is a scenario that I face every week going to ewr on mainline. I list for the Jumpseat. The gate agent says hey there are seats open in the back and gives me a ticket with a seat in the back. On this ticket it still shows sk3 which is the Jumpseat code for non mainline. I am still jump seating although I have a seat in the back. I ALWAYS go politely ask for a ride, and introduce myself to the flight attendants up front.


According to you when I Jumpseat like this I should just go sit down and not ask for a ride. Man I feel bad for you if you think this is ok.
