That culture may have existed because you could have a nonrev listing AND a JS listed. Most of those other airlines were DOH on JS as well instead of FCFS booked up to 6 days ahead. I would much rather be up front than in 30E. And I stand by the opinion that you take care of your coworker first before OAL
