Tell SWAPA maybe they need to stop posting 'vintage' pics (funny in itself considering DAL/UAL have been around since the 1930s) and retirement photo's on their social media and tell them to tell management to fix the jumpseat issue.
Live in a cave and wonder why the light is so bright?
Meanwhile, SWA pilots be lovin' them some KCM and jumpseating on real airlines all while unable to reciprocate. UFB.

That is completely against their manuals (GOM) and ours. They are supposed to clear you, preboard you, and then pull you if the weight restriction actually exists at push time (hint - it never does). If that happens again, please flag down a crew member or ask the ops agent (at the podium by the jetway door) to speak to the captain.
If you would like, I can forward the particulars to our jumpseat folks. Would need your info, airline, date, time, and flight details. You can PM me.
As someone who jumpseats offline often, these issues frustrate me to no end. SWA is an airline being run by ground ops. 95 percent of pilots would set the brake and solve your issue before allowing you to be left behind.

I almost exclusively commute on sw. I’ve only had one problem so far with being denied the Js and the another gate agent jumped in and “fixed it”
Yesterday there was a problem, they had two to many people on board. They literally walked through the cabin and checked every Id.
Come to find out the discrepancy was the computer did not count myself and a company jumpseater.
Thank you to all the sw people who go out of their way to make commuting bearable.
