I said I’d wait for the next flight as the UAX pilot was already planning to take that jumpseat. Agent went into a priority speech that I interrupted thanking her but explaining that I had a seat on the next flight due to training etc and that this jumpseat should be “his”. UAX pilot thanked me and seemed confused but I explained that if I really needed that seat I should have listed online earlier and if it was an emergency I would have taken it but that we try not to do this to each other, especially when we have a PS seat on a flight leaving within two hours. I think he got it and hope he does the same when he (if already not already) gets here.
