Should always check in. The Jumpseat form says the CA has final authority, not the Gate Agent. It is professional courtesy to ask the CA for a ride everytime. If not the next time the FA calls for the JS to come to the front it may be asking you to leave the plane since you did not check in with the CA...I have seen it and it does happen.
