This does mean, though, IF AT THE CAP, jumpseaters or no jumpseaters, non-revs will not be boarded. Thus, if you are commuting, if it looks tight, list for the jumpseat.

This has been my experience the last month or so. I haven’t sat up front yet even though most flights have been at the cap. You will always have at least one family that sits together and frees up a window or aisle seat.

Question for the SWA folks: Do you not allow jumpseaters to occupy the exit row? I was allowed to pre board to check in with the CA, then I made my way back and was going to sit in exit row, but FA told me I couldn’t because I was a pre board. Not sure why, as I’m willing and able, but just curious. I did politely comply, apologized and moved, and am gracious for the ride. Just want to make sure I don’t break the rules again next time.

If you don't want to pre-board, you could probably self-assign yourself to B-0 boarding position and board right after A list finishes. You might get the usual nasty looks from some pax but probably won't get a complaint especially if you walk up looking like you belong there, right as the last A-list pax scans their pass and before they announce B list boarding.
I generally wouldn't jump the line into the middle of A-list boarding, even in company uniform. One look at the VSP package and it's clear the company probably wants A list pax more than they want me LOL
