It was surreal, like in what universe does a pilot knowingly volunteer to bump the jumpseat listed pilot, when he is positive space travel to training?!
I had a spirit pilot who was positive space/deadheading on my flight and I knew there was another Spirit pilot that was trying to Jumpseat. I was surprised when he came into the cockpit and announced he was taking the Jumpseat but he was deadheading and he had already worked it out with the agent.
I told him he could take his assigned seat and I went back up to the agent to get him off my Jumpseat.
Damned autocorrect capitalizing Jumpseat on me as I type
