No.

And please don't try it. Because the only way you'll get the miles is if you are checked into the flight and when the FA count doesn't match the BP count then you will delay everyone while they sort it out. My observation is that post 9/11 even on short flights where the pressure is on to dispatch it and which might have gone out with a discrepancy pre-9/11 don't and won't now usually.

It's a bad and even rude idea, imo; I assume you don't want to be the cause of potential delay and misconnects for your fellow pax.

And while we're on the general subject, did you ever make good on your trade with CaliforniaCentralCoast as referenced in
