I think your being a little dramatic....
Whether those Captains care because of:
A. I’m the Captain and they must kiss the ring.
B. They want to know who is back there in the case of an emergency.
The FOM doesn’t say they need to check in. I’m guessing we are given that guidance for a reason. I would recommend checking in as a jump seater but leaving someone for not doing so is incorrect.
Honestly, most of the guys that fit into A. from above would have a re-education conversation before they left someone behind.
