The problem with this is if its a company non-rev its a fellow COWORKER as opposed to an off line pilot. I would certainly take the jump in order to get a revenue standby (i.e. CUSTOMER) or a Company non-rev aboard prior to J.S. Ragman the off line pilot.
The airline gossip factory works 24/7/365 and you'll get a reputation well beyond your crewroom.
