Better look again, it is the new way to "Optimize" revenue from N/R's. Planes are leaving with empty seats and N/R's behind. (As of 01/14.) Load planning does not care to deal with it.

Can you give us a flight number to look into? Is it possible they were in fact at the limit?

Sure, 694- ATL/RTB, left one seat open, if they can sharp-shoot gross weight to 250 lbs. my hat is off to them.

I'm not a commuter so not up to speed on protocol but I showed up to gate 14 mins prior to departure with plane sitting there(our metal) and gate agent wouldn't let me jumpseat and said too late flight closed out. I was trying to deviate on an earlier flight to go home an hour earlier. Guidance?

Not sure about the "14mins prior", but if the agent had already "closed the flight" then he/she had submitted final numbers to load planning. Honestly, not sure what the CSA's policy states about opening a flight again to get non-rev passengers on.
