Exactly my thoughts. More and more times the gate agents act like they run the show. I don't know when the CA's authority/respect started to fade away but it's as if it's nearly the last in the chain of command most of the time these days.
Also the reason I said pieces may have been missing to the story is because AWAC guys usually do as much they can to get jumpseaters on. Really surprised by this situation. mainlineAF, contact your union rep if you haven't already.

That as part of the problem also

They aren't on here trolling and preaching at the guys who are still running the race. Kind of a silly thing to do as a flow pilot. I especially don't see anyone else still playing in the regional threads after they've already moved on. Assuming that's true of course..
It's not...

There is no such thing as an FA jumpseat that is available to jumpseating crewmembers on the CRJ 200. There is only one FA jumpseat and the FA needs to sit in it.
People are forgetting that a Jumpseater has priority if they are traveling to protect a flight. That is Priority 1 in the FOM. OAL Jumpseaters are Priority 4. If that captain was truly deadheading (as in assigned by crew scheduling) then crew scheduling could have said "he needs to take the jumpseat".
The jumpseater could have arrived at the gate as a (non-rev) and ended up a protected jumpseater. This is very possible now that there is no one left to staff the airline and every little trick is needed to assure everyone gets where they need to go. People forget that after the US-AA merger, AA gives out very little positive space to AWAC...it's like pulling teeth.
It's possible this senior captain was a "d$ck" but their are other very plausible explanations.

FA jumpseat as told to me by the CA of that mainline flight.
