Non revving with anyone that isn't Envoy while in uniform: "Hey my name's XYZ I'm with Envoy, they got me a seat in the back, thanks!" I don't offer the handshake, I just wave without stepping all the way into the cockpit. It's quick, simple, a step above walking in unannounced.

Non revving with anyone, not in uniform: No greeting

Jump seating, regardless of uniform: Greetings, handshakes, paperwork etc.


I'm not saying this is the "ALPA" approved method, or even the right method, but I have yet to step on anyone's toes doing this. When I'm flying, a quick greeting is more than enough for me if they aren't riding up front.
