I'm not a commuter so not up to speed on protocol but I showed up to gate 14 mins prior to departure with plane sitting there(our metal) and gate agent wouldn't let me jumpseat and said too late flight closed out. I was trying to deviate on an earlier flight to go home an hour earlier. Guidance?

Was the j/s available? If so, were you able to list for the j/s on iCrew prior to reaching the gate. If not, were you listed as a non-rev on this earlier flight, or was your boarding dependent on the agent listing you too?
Not sure about the "14mins prior", but if the agent had already "closed the flight" then he/she had submitted final numbers to load planning. Honestly, not sure what the CSA's policy states about opening a flight again to get non-rev passengers on.

Herminator retiring!
Saw his alpa retirement picture up in the Atl crew Lounge the other day. Never flew with the guy but heard some outrageous stories. So long jackass.

I haven't flown with any of the 4 horsemen yet, but with him retiring, only one remains, right?
I flew with a capt last month I would like to nominate for chairman of that club. Apparently his file is thick, but somehow his name was not on any avoid list I have ever seen.
It's on mine now.
