I listed for the jumpseat CLT-GNV, wearing khakis, black dress shoes, and collared shirt. Gate agent told me I wasnt allowed to jumpseat since I was not in uniform.
After a gate change the captain came through the terminal, and I mentioned to him I was trying to jumpseat and the gate agent had issue with my clothes. He made a funny face and said "you're fine". After the pax boarded he came out to make sure I wasnt getting hassled by the gate agent.
Unfortunately, it seems the most professional employees are the ones with the least amount of passenger contact.
