Have you considered the easy route? Walk up to the agent and say I am an offline pilot jumpseater and I would like to standby for the cockpit jumpseat.
That way you would not have to walk through the airport in fear of a $13 an hour shift worker bruising your delicate little ego by asking "are you a pilot."
Maslow would like to talk to you about your first world self-actualization problem when you have some free time.
