If you think as an AA/AE employee we get to just walk up and list, you're crazy.
I have to list myself and check in, and if it's less than an hour prior I can't even check in. Which means they give away all the seats to the lower standby status people before me.
So yea.

Hahaha, the last time I flew with a CA that told the agent to open the flight back up or he will not leave, the agent opened the flight and put the JSeater on. Then the next week the CA was called to the CPs office and was told if he did thy again he will be terminated. So he doesn't do that anymore.
Quite often our loads people will weight restrict a flight even though we're way under weight so the agent couldn't list any JSeaters even if she wanted to. Happened twice last month, agent told JS its restricted, we found out and tells told its not, by that time the JSeater already left.
I love my company

By the time we realize it's not weight restricted the agent will have already closed the flight. See the catch 22? There's a vindictive load planner that over restricts on purpose to deny jumpseaters because crews will not be his friend, yeh it's childish, I know. He has something against pilots.
