This is directed mostly at the guys who expect commuting pilots to stop by the cockpit...

My understanding is that as a non-rev, you are being extended a courtesy, and the privilege shouldn't be taken for granted- you are a guest on the Captain's airplane. So far so good.

Why then, is the requirement to "check in" with the operating crew restricted to pilots? I see FA's, and other airline employees travelling every day without stopping at the cockpit, and CA's don't seem to care.

I can't seem to see the logic behind the "selective screening" of non-revs...




unless they're gojet pilots, but I'd like to keep them out of this.
