That benefit is flawed to begin with as it implies potentially bumping paid (cash or points) J passengers for employees. I don't care who gets empty seats or how high AC employees are placed on the standby or upgrade list, but if I booked a J seat, I want my J seat, and I detest anyone who take this seat away from me. This is a bullying move, period. I retaliate against by giving zero support to AC pilot union, and yes, I know this move has as much impact as the chance of me getting bumped from J, so I am half serious half joking.
Pilots deadheading in vacant J seats is justifiable. Pilots wanting to bump paying customers from J seats is contemptuous. Executives agreeing to bump paying passengers from J seats is worse.
