Commuting to and from work or home is one of the purposes of the jumpseat, so no problem there. It is when the company needs to move you around for their business, and they ask you to use a jumpseat: that is a problem.
I saw two pilots trying to get from DAL to AMA so one could give a checkride to the other. That was for their company, not personal commuting use. What's worse, is I was trying to get to AMA for my grandmother's funeral, and the two boneheads were trying to force me out of the jumpseat. The SWA captain simply told them to go buy tickets, and I got my ride to AMA.
