I decided that my last x number of years I would stop using the jumpseat. Flights are mostly always full, so having to ride the cockpit is only option, other than buying a seat. We receive a very substantial discount for positive space tickets. Have earned status that allows me to pick my seat on 2 different airlines.
Using miles later this year with award miles in confirmed business class seats.
