Should I not get up out of my seat 10-15 prior to take a leak, which is my normal routine, so that I'm more safe? Because me taking a leak and me walking to the top of the jet bridge takes about the same amount of time. Checking for jumpseaters doesn't mean rushing and/or missing checklist items. It is possible to both be safe and not leave your commuting brothers behind in this high company pressure environment.

Fair enough. Certain interruptions are acceptable.

It's not an interruption if you choose to go make the walk. The interruptions they're trying to avoid are the ones where you're in the middle of DIAFRIPS or the departure briefing they'd like to stop.

That's why they get paid the big bucks at mainline. I'm still waiting for that flowthrough!

Please notify your jumpseat committee that JB gate agents are violating this policy. This needs to end.

This needs to be done every time!

2nd time I tried to js on you guys today out of DCA to MCO and showed up to the gate 17 mins prior to departure and both times the flights were closed 20 mins early. A lead agent told me that they can close it 20 mins early, how true is that?
