^This. There are three flights a day between my place of residence and my domicile (PHX). One of those flights in on Mesa (CRJ 900) which is fine but the other two are on SKW and their beloved 200s. I've been knocked off the jumpseat on the 200 a couple of times due to weight restrictions...it sucks.
98% of the time I do get a seat in the back though.
