When that JS is occupied by a regional pilot or OAL, while you’re the only pilot in the 320 JS it’s not cool. AA guys get the option by the Agent “do you want the seat or the JS”. I’m sure most of us, will get the JS if we know other NonRevs will get on.
Also there are times where there’s enough seats on the plane for everybody. It would be nice to be seated in comfort +, window or isle vs getting a middle seat at the end of the plane because you had to wait until the end.
