I disagree. I've done this many times, but only for non revs and only if no other jump sweaters ( online or offline). I make it clear to the agent that if a jumpseater shows up that I will take my original seat or FA JUMPSEAT even. I don't leave the podium until door closing time either to keep them honest.
Are you telling me that you would strand a nonrev by not taking the jump?

Just saw an ad for Game of War.
Wonder if it's any good?

I'd also like the option to fly on other carriers where my full fare ticket is treated as any other full fare paying customer. Employee ps tickets during irops would fall so far down in the priority list.
Just my 2 cents. I'd prefer we focus on compensation and work rule improvements in c2015. No doubt ALPA and management will over inflate the cost associated with any other bonuses.

I always board last anyway as I don't want to sit in those seats any longer than I have to. I always drag my big bag down and hang out in the gate area. I have never been pressured to give up my seat, I always offer and make it very clear its only for a non rev and only if there are no jumpseaters. I know I would appreciate it if I were non revving with my 6 yr old or 80 year old mom if someone gave up their dhd seat so we could get on. My sons too young to be alone in the back and my mom would need help. I'm a firm believer in karma. Hockey you're too young to be this bitter at the company.

I'm not hurting anyone. And even though I have a guaranteed ride in the back, I see no harm in helping a nonrev get to their destination by me riding up front.
