Hell, I think I'll buy a USA today EVERY day, too. Just to be extra crazy.
I hear you on the last check bouncing. As far at the jumpseats, I was talking about international primarily. IMO I'd rather fly on one of our 74's most of the time instead of on a pax carrier. Pretty much the same seats, a bed... and use the FC $20K saved for the hotel & beverages. Not cheap, just have my priorities. YMMV
