Personally, I have always given up my seat and taken a cabin jumpseat to get another pilot on board (you know, never leave a pilot behind). I won't anymore. What has been your experience lately?
Same thing happened to me. Fortunately southwest got me home in the jump later that day. A week after that happened, I had the choice of taking the last cabin JS on us to let a DAL guy ride up front...I was tempted to give him the DAL treatment I received. But I told him I would be glad to take the FA jump, but I'd appreciate it if his bros would do the same for me instead of leaving me behind next time. He apologized for the other guy.
