Narrative:
My company is almost always short of crews. We landed at lake charles. In the operations office were 2 flight attendants who had been bumped repeatedly for lack of seats on our flts. We were booked full too, so in order to help the company and flight attendant, I put one on the jump seat, hoping to avoid having the company cancel flts due to lack of personnel. Will never do that again. Too risky to my career.
