Both good points. I'm Home Based now, so I'm always travelling in uniform on a ticket. Still, I try to introduce myself to the Captain
for a couple reasons.
1. So he knows he has at least one ABP in the back who's familiar with commercial aviation.
2. So there is no misunderstanding about whether I'm jumpseating or not.
So far, there's never been an issue. I still poke my head in at the end if the door is open to say "Thank You" anyway.
