Since they were employees why didn't one of them sit in the jump seat? You know the spare seat in the cockpit that is used by examiners and by airline employees at other times. The Embraer 170 had one, here it is. It would of saved one paying passenger from being bumped. Again, another case of the boarding agents not going above and beyond in their job.
When I was a controller I rode in the cockpit jump seat on about a dozen flights, and I wasn't even an employee, I was employed by the FAA. I wasn't an examiner, I was a controller.
