In my airline career thus far I have always driven to work. I do jumpseat 3-4 times per year to visit friends and family. I always get asked "are you headed to work?" I always answer with the truth.

Is it bad form to use our jumpseat privileges for pleasure travel on other airlines? I recently had one of my captains say that it was looked upon unfavorably. This is the first I've heard of this... Anyone have opinions on this matter?
