There are several reasons to get bumped inside of 24 hours. The aircraft gauge may have changed and there are fewer jumpseats available on the new aircraft. A late minute operational emergency crew maybe jumpseating now and bumping others. DOD couriers will bump personal or staging jumpseaters. A jumpseat may have an MEL.

Reason: added MEL
