UPS-Double booking on jumpseats

What's do you folks think about people booking themselves on more than one flight? Ex, morning flight to ANC and afternoon flight to ANC. Is there a UPS or IPA policy against this?
Just curious because I see it happening.

They should be outed. But I don't think the JS committee really wants to do that, because it might offend the offenders.

The company is blocking seats that go unused at times too! I was bumped two days prior to departure on the SDF-ANC run. I rebooked the same flight the next day when a double booker finally dropped out and only two of us actually flew in the back of the -400, the company still showed 2 seats blocked for possible reserve pilots. Ridiculous.

SDF-ANC-SDF is always full on the good departure times and starting to get that way on the early shows. How about guys start double booking the ANC-HKG leg. LOTS more available. Better yet--PM me and I will give you special one time good deal FNP for you GI. The view is much better in the front than the bunk snoozing. Takers???
