Since I no longer have DAL travel benefits, I have to JS or buy a ZED fare. In this case, I was denied the JS and had to purchase a ZED fare on a wide open flight. If I ask for flowback to the empty back, it's still using the JS privileges and you need to check in with the CA in which he stated management and the COO has told everyone via e-mail today that it's a violation against your certificate to carry us.
I feel your problem should be with United, and your jumpseat chair. Until we can go back to last week (or OAL), unfortunately it will be ZEDs or a two leg commute.
