My sister is a flight attendant with a different (and bigger) airline and she said it is quite unlikely that this happened the way this man says. First of all... Once the pilot is locked into the cockpit, he is not supposed to come out of the cockpit for any reason until the plan has safely landed. Also, the FAA has strict regulations regarding the availability of seat belts in case there is a problem or turbulence, I doubt the entire flight crew would jeopardize their jobs by allowing a passenger (flying free or not) to not have an available seat.

As for buddy passes... This is something that nearly all airlines have. My sister has given me a buddy pass on several occasions. I can tell you that flying standby isn't always pleasant, but it is nearly free (sometimes there are taxes).

As for Jet Blue, I had a chance to fly them last year and I was surprised by the amount of legroom... The tv's were pretty nice too... If only my sisters employer could take a clue.
