I disagree. I've done this many times, but only for non revs and only if no other jump sweaters ( online or offline). I make it clear to the agent that if a jumpseater shows up that I will take my original seat or FA JUMPSEAT even. I don't leave the podium until door closing time either to keep them honest.
Are you telling me that you would strand a nonrev by not taking the jump?
