I agree with the both of you when you tell me that an "offline jumpseat" might've gotten a first class seat before an employee pass riding/non-revving on the same flight, but in my years of working for NWA, now Delta, I have yet to see the "policy" written anywhere stating such.

To reiterate the meaning of my post. I'm not saying anyone posting their experiences are wrong in the fact that they possibly did get the "shaft" without even as much as a "hug" afterwards, I just have yet to see the "policy".

As you all know, from being in this industry as long as you have, what is a hard & fast rule, and what might actually be some "****ed off, disgruntled gate agent's" policy (because they've been chewed out by yet another passenger for the flight delay, weather delay, or ATC delay) can often times clearly be two separate subjects.

Fly safe,
