That's exactly what happened when the subject came up when I was still flying.
Is it worth it?

At DAL, our pilots can flow back to the Flight Attendant jumpseat based on availability. Of course our cabin staff has first access, and there have been many times I have sat on their jumpseat to provide a spot for offline pilots to our flight deck jumpseat.
As a disclaimer.. .I am NOT married to a FA, I DON'T have a FA girlfriend and have NEVER dated a FA. But I am starting my 37th year as an airline pilot.
It ain't no big deal!
