The other day a CA told me that i didnt need to check in up front if the gate had given me a seat in the back.. The way it was said sounded like that was normal, to not say hi if given a seat. He said it was a waste of time but thanks anyways. I have always asked the FA to talk to the CA and FO on every flight i have jumped... seat or jumpseat...

Just that CA's way of doing things you think??
