ALPA just spelled out proper jumpseat etiquette in their last magazine. There’s no excuse to not ask permission! I become the a$$h@le that says... “are you asking me permission to ride the jumpseat?” It’s funny to see the look on their faces!
Hell, when I’m riding space positive on another carrier in uniform I stop up to say hello and let them know I’m space positive and not some jack wagon that got a seat in back while jumpseating and didn’t bother to ask. Last AA crew was very thankful I let them know.
