You have to actually get on a flight to burn an S2. If you miss your flight, the S2 doesn’t get used. What’s the problem again?

Totally legal, just not cool in my own opinion. If I think a trip/seat is one of my 6 most critical for the year and it doesn't look like everyone will get one, I check in S2. If I already checked in as S3, I leave it as is. That's just me...

Checking in S3 and then at minute 31 changing it to S2 is a douche move (subject to opinion), and is furthermore not really comparable to the “contention” over oobws or using an SIL. (Still not really sure how we can hold those 3 up in the light together but hey, it’s a free country.)

I’ll lay it down in very simple terms since you decided not to read the posts and just wade in.

Nope. Domestically you can change your priority up to 35 minutes prior to the departure. I have zero problem with that because, like OOBWS, those are the rules. The problem I have is when someone plays, or is, buddy buddy with the gate agent and changes their priority inside of that window to either not burn an S2 because they are going to get on or burn one because it’s 15 prior to departure and it doesn’t look like they will make it.

This is a violation of company policy as well as listing for multiple jumpseats. If you encounter a multiple jumpseat listing call the pilot and ask which one he really wants. If he refuses to cancel one call the CPSC and they will cancel whichever one you want and book you.

Non rev and jumpseat
I see all the time guys list non rev for one flight and jumpseat for the next one. Then it seems like they want me to tell them how nice they are when they get on their first flight and cancel the jumpseat for their second flight so I can have it. I don’t know of any way to see this in advance and call them on it. So I just say thanks a lot and take their leftovers.

Keep in mind this is for going home, not commuting to work.
You have a trip that is scheduled to end at 1530. You go to book the jumpseat and the one at 1615 is already booked, so you book the next one at 1830. On the last day of your trip you check the loads and see that the flight at 1615 has 20 seats open and 7 people listed. Jumpseat is still booked. Obviously you are going to attempt to non rev on the earlier flight. Must you cancel your jumpseat on the later flight to list on the earlier flight? That runs the risk on an unexpected IROP pushing a bunch of pax onto both flights and not getting home.
Thoughts?
