Had an express guy years ago on an overbooked flight that was positive space, I had the jumpseat. He went and told the gate agent he would take the jumpseat, knowing I’d get bumped, so they didn’t bump a revenue pass (which is the whole point of being a PS0). Luckily I knew the agent, he told the guy no way! I had a little chat with him in the jetway...

Just to be clear, that was a Delta flight.
I hear that it’s the same for AA. I’ve been told that is big no-no over there. Not sure why. For some reason, it seems like UAL is the only one who does this.
Luckily, the other jumpseater who was also listed, didn’t show up. So I got the 2nd JS and got to share the flight deck with him. He would’ve gotten a seat in the back, by the way. In conversation with him during the flight, he says he always rides the JS if he can. Whatever...lol

Not true at AA. The jumpseat listing works like a normal non rev listing. You can go in the cabin or the cockpit.

Exactly the same situation at Alaska when I was there. You could non-rev list using your seniority date. If you listed for the jumpseat you went to the BOTTOM of the non-rev list. Everyone else got on before you would get a seat in the cabin. Your seniority didn't mean squat with a jumpseat listing.
Even then there was an issue. Jumpseat listing didn't take into consideration your seniority either. The only discriminator was AS pilots first, then QX then everyone else. In those catagories it was first come, first served.
Pilots not allowed in the F/A jumpseat except QX pilots on the QX F/A jumpseat.
