This is a great deal for all mainline pilots (not really). In 2 years commuting from San Diego to SLC (mostly mainline) but occasionally on Sky West and even ASA, I sat in the cabin of DCI a grand total of two times! It was about 70% on the jumpseat and about 30% denied the jumpseat. When I say denied the jumpseat it was not by SKy West pilots - the Pilots were always great, it was due mainly to gate agents that did not care or were too busy to get a mainline pilot on. So first of all - we probably will not be seeing many empty seats on DCI, and if we do get an empty seat- good luck getting a gate agent to fill it with your butt.
