We need to up gauge everything to a380s.
Please do not take the jumpseat anymore when you are positive space. Last minute jumpseaters get screwed all the time. If you have a contractually guaranteed seat in the back, use it. The oversell is not your problem. You are hurting us more than you think. There are airlines out there that require pilots to deadhead in the jumpseat.
