Okay, possibly I'm not thinking about this right, but I get annoyed seeing United pilots and flight attendants fill up first class. I'm sure their contracts allow for this, but it is problematic from several angles. First, they are surely taking seats paying fliers could have as upgrades. Second, they send the message that United staff would not be caught dead in coach seats. Third, well, third, it's just annoying to think I could have had an empty seat next to me--to spread out work and truly have a productive trip--but no, a pilot or flight attendant decided to jumpseat the flight.

Randy, do you know the rules, and am I thinking rightly or wrongly?!
