Jumpseats are free but you have to pay a service charge to ride in the back, Big Friggin Deal! They might get it changed but in the meantime ride someone else if you can't pony up the smack.
Years back I got kicked off many United, American, Delta and USAir jumpseats because one of their line pilots showed up at the last minute and booted me from the airplane. I even had some pilots elect to take their own JS just to save their own service charge boot me from the plane a few minutes before departure and not even say they were sorry. I would have loved to have paid a $25 service charge to get on the flight.
ATA has always had the most liberal JS policy around, we believe in leading by example. I'm most thankful for SWA because since they are the 800 lb gorilla these days, they are most responsible for the JS policies changing in the industry.
In short. Thanks AirTran for the lift, you will not be charged to ride in the back on my plane and maybe someday you will change your policy.
