Like I've said, if you list non-rev and show up and tell the gate agent "if it's available, I'd happy to take the Jumpseat to get more standbys on" you'll have no problem. If it gives the appearance you are trying to help them out, they will list you in a heartbeat. I've never once had a problem. And I've never been threatened to get fired or lose my pass benefits like some people are claiming.
Of course you haven’t had a problem doing what you describe above because, wait for it............it’s not against company policy! It’s the smart thing to do. Now going up to the agent and telling them you have a JS and nonrev listing on the same flight.......not so smart, against company policy and could lead to a reduction in pass benefits (not that they are worth much now.)
