I honestly don't think anyone at 9E will ever deny a non-rev...it won't happen...we can vent and get all angry at how unfair everything is, but the vast vast majority of captains are decent people who will do whatever possible to help other blue-collar workers like ourselves get on a plane...

99% of us would much rather welcome non-revs and jumpseaters from ANY airline than paying pax, because the traveling public is generally lazy, fat, stupid, and complains about EVERYTHING from the size of the RJ, the cost of their already-dirt-cheap ticket, and anything that goes wrong at all on the flight "why haven't we pushed back yet, why are we 1 minute late, why is this plane so small, why is it so hot in here?"

I would boot every paying passenger possible for a pilot, non-rev, and all of their extended families if I had the choice and wouldn't lose my job over it...until they start paying pilots (and rampers and FAs) a decent wage for what we all do, the "minimum cost, maximum complaining" traveling public is more to blame for things like us losing travel benefits than our brothers and sisters on groundcrews and at other airlines....
