Tagging onto Kenny’s post; the North American mob I work for actually have it in the FOM that the CA can upgrade jumpseaters himself - a hallmark of days that have largely passed.
An interesting note, on my last trip to Oz I flew VA domestic and was pretty late for checkin. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful, sending me through and gate checking my bag.
Kinda made me miss some of the few good things left of Aussie culture and the old VA.
