If you need to be in position and a deadhead flight is needed to get you there, then you will have a seat, even if it is the jump seat.
The jumpseat should not be used when the company is transporting you somewhere. If they want you there, they should positive space you.
The jumpseat should exist to get pilots to and from home and work on their own time (commuting).
