Didnt really matter to me nor did I really notice and think anything of it untill seeing this post. I always introduce myself to the pilots but I learned from reading this post to try and pay more attention to the flight attendants as well. After all, they are the ones who usually say, "have a seat in first class!" When I started though I really had no clue about jumpseating as a privelage and that you should check in with the captain and all that good stuff, we didnt learn stuff like this in indoc, sad that Im just kinda learning it as I go over the past 3 months.
