See a theme here?
On turns I make it a point to check the gate area when picking up paperwork and see if there are any pilots trying to get a ride. Introduce myself and ask them to please say hello when they get down so I know they made it on. If not I’m running up there to make sure we fill that js. Had quite a few gate agents purposefully deny people the JS and tell me we had no jumpseaters.
