I know this because I just had to endure the cackling between those hens in the van recently telling their stories about this very subject. Totally bogus move.

Hopefully you told someone about it. I know we have FAs who ask the agent hold an open D1 seat from nonrevs and then after boarding is complete they move their sister in law up there. Then they will also see that you’re a S3 on their Skypro, then go back and say “I’m sorry sir, but we have a revenue passenger that is upgrading. You can go back to 52B.” Then they “upgrade” their friend.

My wife got left in our Podunk town so that some gate agent could put her friend on. I actually FCRd with screenshots of the checked in/seats assigned list and the agent got canned. Impressive.

Buried somewhere on Travelnet it says a JSA boards last (meaning the last seats available, meaning probably the worst seats on the aircraft.)
This includes Delta pilots.

That’s why I said if something like that happens to you, it needs to go to the higher courts for review.

I jumpseated on United from Dublin a couple of years ago. Introduced myself to the Captain and politely asked for a ride, said hi to the flight lead and then walked past 5 rows of empty first class seats to my middle seat in the back. I was happy for the ride as Delta had stranded me but I hope we treat our OAL jumpseaters better than that. I know we did on flights I worked when I was doing international but don’t know if that’s the norm or not.

OL international jumpseaters are relatively rare but the 2 occasions that I saw them the Capt in both occasions asked the flight lead to put them in FC if there were open seats. One time there was, one time there wasn’t.

Delta jumpseaters are permitted to board anytime after the Captain is onboard. OAL pilots board at closeout.
