Yeah, I remember once my wife paid to non-rev on CAL and got business and I jumpseated thinking I could save some money. Big Mistake! I was in the last row and my wife was in business with the seat open next to her! The FA's said the lead would not allow jumpseaters in business. To top it all off, she was a commuter, damn!
