Also, if the flight is delayed and you want to non-rev but the original departure time has passed, good luck trying to get the agent to list you.
I don't really have problem with that. I have a confirmed jumpseat and it ending up that someone else got on who wouldn't have if I had gone regular nonrev strikes me as a fair trade. I'll definitely take it over the UAL system where listing for the jumpseat lets you list in back but you can be bumped by anyone senior at any time before door closure.
