The reason "Why" has never been an issue at Delta, (not that I've seen) I'm not sure about other airlines as I rarely need to use any others.
Thanks. That's what I figured. Unfortunately jumpseat etiquette is never taught at the regionals. I am making sure I didn't miss one of the "learn as you go" lessons. I've always assumed the "are you headed to work?" question was a conversation starter, but wanted to make sure I wasn't violating some sort of code of conduct. Thanks for the input
