FYI
The jumpseat is to be used for PERSONAL travel not business/work-related travel. If your employer requires you to jumpseat to a base, then that employer is not following the terms of the jumpseat agreement. Basically, the employer should purchase a ticket.
Not too long ago a company violated the terms of the agreement (by requiring its employees to jumpseat to "outstations"). The pilots were not permitted to jumpseat, even for personal use.
Finally, if you are off-line, you must ride in the back, the FAA hasn't modified the recent policy change.
On a personal note, be careful what you post and the specific companies. There are many AirTran and MidEx pilots on this board who may read this post (and perhaps forward the information to the respective jumpseat coordinator).
