Seems like it’s a win across the board as everyone gets what they want, but I had this scenario come up and wasn’t sure if it violated anything, so I passed.
From ALPA jumpseat guide:
Be polite and courteous to gate agents. Remember that they do not get the same benefits of riding on other carriers, but never, ever let them talk you into taking the jumpseat or becoming a jumpseater on a flight for which you are ticketed no matter how nicely they ask or what type of favor you may think you are doing them. They may even offer you vouchers, but this practice has resulted in lost reciprocal jumpseat agreements.
