By listing for both, commuters have a better idea who is and is not JS eligible to be see the actual chances of getting on. Same goes for FAs.
When you list for the jumpseat at Delta it’s yours unless a fed bumps you. If that happens going to work you get positive space in back even if a paying passenger must be bumped.
