There is actually, but in practice they only do it for strollers and wheelchairs. There isn't anything saying they can't do it, just saying they have to for wheelchairs and strollers. They "can" do it for non-revs and jumpers but most don't....

They have valet tags for specifical equipment, yes. But in the last 10 years, I've never once seen them valet a bag.

I honestly think how DL boards jumpseaters is so bad compared to everyone else, that you just can’t comprehend what everyone is saying here. That’s not a slam, it’s just conditioning.
No one is saying what you stated above.

Then if you know you are getting on, why are you bothering about the jumpseat?
And most of the time, no gate agent starts clearing nonrevs from our OWN company more than 30 minutes out domestically because that’s the cut off to change your priority. Then after they deal with that they get to you. I hate the system too, but dang, so sorry the free ride has you that upset.

Other airlines usually clear you for the jumpseat and then IF someone from that airline shows up last minute, they remove you. Makes it much easier for the jumpseater.

It’s not like any of us have even the tiniest control over how our company/gate agents clear folks. None. Yet people love to pounce on any perceived weakness. The best we can do is be vigilant with the GA and ‘make the walk’.

Ok, fine. But nuance and tone of voice can be lost in the interwebs. Misunderstanding is all too easy, which is why I said “surely you aren’t saying…”.
