Thats was all fine and dandy until she saw me standing at the gate and asked me if I listed...What comes around goes around.
So you're making a threat? She had every right to the JS on her OWN metal. Not only is jumpseating a privilege, you've got to understand that offline jumpseaters are DEAD LAST in priority behind EVERY category of non-rev. If there's a seat in back, great. Apparently there wasn't or she would have given up the cockpit jumpseat.

Why? Going to work isn't a silver bullet, especially if you're offline. Sounds to me like you didn't plan an appropriate number of backups to make your checkin time. YOUR BAD. Prior planning prevents poor performance.
And complaining about your bad planning makes you an automatic candidate for TOTD.
