So none up on proper procedures and not facebook b.s.
Oh, absolutely dude. I ALWAYS check in with the captain with a “Hi there captain. Do you mind if I catch a ride home/to work with you this morning? (Sure, welcome aboard) Awesome, I appreciate it! (They give you a seat?) Yes sir/ma’am, they gave me a seat in back.”
With a cabin seat assignment, I don’t normally check in with my medical/license out of my wallet and in-hand, because I’ve never been asked to show them with a seat in back. Granted I mostly commute on company metal and SkyWest - maybe their captains are a little more loose with jumpseat credential checks. Not trying to start a fight - just asking.
