More often than not, a legit jumpseating pilot gets left behind due to deadheaders not using their company paid for seat.
At my airline, no one jumpseats while deadheading. It's a big no-no.
I gave an example of a situation that gets a JetBlue pilot on medical leave on the plane. A situation I’ve never been in. But if I were I’d take the jumpseat to get them on. Sorry if you don’t agree.
