Ugh, I was one of those guys. That aft FA Jumpseat on a 757 is no fun. Can't complain about a free ride though. I made an AirTran guy happy.
You get to hear all sorts of gossip chillin in the aft galley too! Commuting sucks and I was just visiting family so I kinda felt obligated to help the guy out. Most every airline I've jumped on has been equally accommodating. I've even had a Fed take a later flight so I could get home. I went out of my way to thank his boss a few weeks later. She was really surprised that a pilot showed up at the FSDO to thank them. Not something pilots do.....thank Feds. Lol.
