It seems as though my brethren of my previous carrier carry on the tradition of doing whatever it takes to get a jump on- which many times could end up in battle with an idiot gate agent.

I've pulled every trick in the book... flown 600 miles at 10000 feet, done really weird routings.. you name it. Just takes a call to the dispatcher to work the numbers to squeeze every butt in every seat. It's beautiful to see that carry on!

Kudos!

9E guys will bend over backwards to get a JS on- all it takes is making sure one of the crew (CA or FO) knows you are trying to get on. Too many times it's a gate agent that simply says "O, the flight is wt critical" and the JS gives up- all it means when they say that is they either don't want to deal with you or we will need to make sure the weights work because they are close for landing wt or other performance wt. It's rare that we can't make it happen but on short flights that are already full with an alternate needed we have to crunch numbers, we normally are still able to make it happen though.
