CommuterGuy- please take my post with the best of spirits. We (Dispatch) get a LOT of calls from all over the system for stuff like this. I'm certainly not arguing the "Captain's final decision thing", but remember, you have to get past the Customer Service Agent first to even get a ticket to get on. If you're not on the JS CSA's list (the same one in the FOM), they will almost always call us (because the commuting Pilot ALWAYS says I've done this before, can't you call someone to recheck that list). Now if you can somehow make it past the ops agent and down the jetway to meet with the Captain, kudos to ya!
