Joe,
Here is the issue. When a passenger can go to a ASA website, ticket office, ticket counter and buy a ticket that is written on ASA. The flight is offered in CRS as ASA code and ASA takes all of the risk, scheduling etc for the flight then perhaps you might have some say in what happens in the back of your airplane. Otherwise you are a hired gun to carry the passengers that DL tells you carry, when to carry them and where to land them. It is not your option as to what happens to the boarding priority when someone else owns ALL of the seats in the cabin.
You want to start a jumpseat war? Knock yourself out. In fact you might want to practice the speach, you will give the jumpseaters, in the mirror in the Motel 6 on your next layover. Make it all Col. Jessup-ey if you wish. The whole, "you need me on the jet, you want me on the jet" thing. I am sure DAL management is concerned about what you have to say about this issue.
