I do not work for the carrier I use to get to work, and neither do the managers I speak of.
They should not be able to exercise their higher rank/seniority at your company to bump you from another carrier's jumpseat, priority should go by that carrier's rules which usually means check-in time for offline. But it sounds like they simply got there first...
If they are 121 qualed and commuting to work from their home, that sounds legit to me. Just because they usually work in an office doesn't matter.
However...if they are jumpseating from domicile to/from one of your company's outstations to conduct business, that would be business travel and could get them banned from the JS is the right folks found out.
