Except for the gate agent that is busy and not worried about pilots getting on jumpseats. I've seen it myself - I was sitting in the jumpseat on a 320 in LGA, a line check airman (from another fleet) shows up for the other jumpseat. We got to talking and he said the agent asked him to take the jumpseat instead of his PS seat so some non-revs could get on. About 25 minutes before push, the Captain asked me to run up to the counter to get some paperwork, where I see a DL pilot I know trying to get on the jumpseat on this flight. Agent says, "sorry, both jumpseats are full, it's too late to list you for this flight."
There are many ways that taking the jumpseat instead of a DH seat is bad.

No, because the LCA had made the choice, not the Captain. When I told the LCA, he said, "the agent said there wasn't anybody who wanted the jumpseat". When I said there was a guy out there now trying to jumpseat, the LCA just sat there and didn't say anything. We left without the other guy.
