I won't call BS on your CAL comments as our J/S clearing system absolutely sucks but I do make the walk on every flight and make sure Jumpseaters are accommodated. We don't leave until they are comfortably onboard, period.

As for First Class, if there is an open seat, you will be in it on my flights. Always have operated that way and only once been challenged by a FA. The FA and I had a private little chat in the cockpit and viola', Captain-1, F/A-0.

As a side note the FOM was recently changed to match the UAL version so its completely legit for our Milquetoast Captains to now place Jumpseaters up front if they dare.
