Go down and ask captain, he says yes I get on. Gate agent comes to grab the paperwork and told me that the standby passenger got ****ed at her because she let an “employee on over a paying customer instead” and that passengers should have access to the cockpit and FA jumpseats if the flight is full.

I cannot believe there are people like this out there.
