And what if the plane had been full, can an off line F/A ride in one of our F/A jumpseats? This also brings up the old 'you're not trained on the doors' excuse for not allowing pilots to ride in off-line F/A jumpseats.

Are offline F/A's allowed to JS on us or did the gate agent just do her a favor?
