Me too, all the time. Usually, ATL gate agents didn’t care and said they didn’t want to deal with it. I have no problems sitting in a jumpseat to get others on. In fact, if there are standbys I agree it should be (should have been) required. I’ve even done it on a vacation to get a SkyWest pilot home. Those of us that commute know the unwritten rules of courtesy.
