One time my wife and I entered the plane in Cleveland going to IAH and there was only one seat left, the flight attendant asked me if I could take the next flight. I whipped out my jump seat authorization and sat in the cockpit with the pilot. Hard to get knocked off when I have the ace in the hole. THAT IS, if no pilot or mechanic or FAA guy has taken up the seat first. That was the closest time for me to getting "Pulled out".
