Asking for the jumpseat and other lost traditions

Here's one for yal.

I was commuting on Eagle as a mainline pilot to work. Flight is full and I'm number 2 of 5 on the list and the only pilot. I check in with the agent and say guess I'll be in the jump and he goes no hang out think I have a seat for you. So 15 prior everyone's boarded and he gives me my seat. Notice the #5 guy is a non AA/eagle pilot who gets cleared for the jump. Cool I get a seat. Then I see the #3 person on the list who is a mainline FA that I know well. He says since you didn't take the jump the other guy did and now I won't get on. I let him know I offered to take it but the agent gave me a seat. Luckily there was a no show and we all got on. However I thought I was going to have to tell the other pilot sorry man but I'll be taking the jump and the #3 will be in my seat. Agent put me in a crummy position.

Thoughts?

Were you listed as a nonrev or a jumpseater?
