Buzz Killington notwithstanding, please don't do that. This isn't the 1990's anymore. Jumpseating, even if "just in the cabin" is a big deal and not something you should do for sport just seeing if you can get on. If you don't have an agreement, don't put it on gate agents or pilots to look the other way. Not cool. What you're essentially doing is seeing if you can sneak on in the hopes that someone doesn't know their job and someone else either doesn't know theirs or looks the other way to be cool. Either way you shouldn't be there.
And never, EVER, try and jumpseat offline (even with a recip agreement) when you should be positive space on a company purchased ticket but you'r trying to save your company money. Pilots that do that should be banned for life.
