Ok, I'll give my stories. Only jumpseated 3 times. Number 1-was right out of IOE and going home for a little while. I was in PHX going to ICT, flight was full I had the jumpseat and was bumped off. Got the last open seat on that flight. Number 2-Going from LNK to ORD to PIT. Was all set up for the jumpseat in LNK and was bumped off. Ended up going to DEN, then PIT. Number 3-Went from MCI-SAN, no problems. Keep in mind the first two were within a week and a half span, so I didn't think commuting was the way to go for me. Now I have a new job and am considering commuting from OMA to either MSP, DTW, OR MEM. Good or bad idea?
