Something about SWA getting a 24% bump... So probably slightly more than 4833. No further details

Anyone else hearing this?

I get it, dalad. I'm not trying to promote this is as routine. This discussion has highlighted the pitfalls of giving up the PS seat. Your example, and other examples, show that there are still too many egregious errors committed by gate agents.

I was mostly thinking along the lines of an exception such as this:

Take a left just before the big gas station. There is a traffic light too.

Welcome to PTC and ATL.

Heading west from 85 on Camp Creek you will go through 1 light (big convention center is on the left) and then down a big hill. The parking lot is the next stoplight (take a left.) There is a new gas station there as well - I think it's a racetrack, but not 100%.

When you're a jumpseater you are part of the the crew. I'm not giving up my positive space seat in back to ride in cockpit & be part of the crew. Non-revs that don't get on can take the next flight. If I were non-revving I would never expect a crew member to sit in jumpseat so I or one of my family members could get on.

You also don't have to be qualified on the aircraft or even a pilot to sit in the jumpseat. Violating a jumpseater for an altitude bust is crap.
