Technically they are ID0 nonrevs, not jumpseaters and can only sit in a cabin seat, not an actual jumpseat.

Non reving is a benefit, jumpseating is a priviledge. In the last two weeks, had two captains threaten to throw off at least 5 jumpseaters, including one Comair guy for just taking a seat in the back. They made the agents go get them and bring them up. Was it a dick move? Some would say yes, some no. Remember, regardless of the agent handed you a seat card, you still are riding at the captains discretion and you need his/her permission.
I’m not sure if you work for Delta or not, but what you are saying is incorrect about a Comair pilots jump seating on Delta. We do not have to talk to anyone if we have a seat in the back. We list our self on the flight and get a seat and that’s the end of it. You can introduce your self to the crew as a courtesy, but you do not have to get their permission to ride in the back.
