I don't always trust them to take care of everything when they are often by themselves and under tremendous pressure to get the flight out on time.

As to cnb's post, a jumps eater doesn't have to occupy the jumpseat if they are a jumpseater, we often have multiple jumps eaters with 1 listed on the WDR, and they all sit in back if there are seats available.
