You can also see who’s a jumpseater in their standby list, even if they are not reserved in the JS.
It's likely I'm wrong, usually am, but wasn't (isn't) the deal with not being able to check in online or at a kiosk that the Agent has to be able to verify you visually through the check in process? I seem to remember being told this a few times when asking. Why it would be different between carriers when the verification protocol is based on TSA requirements, or SHOULD be based on them is anyone's guess. Don't know why AA can and we can't...
