The first couple of times in something you don't fly is cool up front though.
Just remember if you are on someone else’s (company) airplane it really is a privilege, respect it.
Sounds more like you're describing jumpseating than actual non-reving. There's a difference. Jumpseaters are the LAST ones to get on the airplane. When I travel via Delta, I list on their website, beat out all the jumpers and buddy pass guys and take my seat in the back. If it looks like it'll fill up, I pull out the jumpseat card.
And the front seat is fun for the first 5 minutes. After that it's uncomfortable...but at least you're the first one off the plane.
