The only time I ever go up to the cockpit to introduce myself / say thanks on AA metal is if I'm assigned the jumpseat (obviously) or if I booked the jumpseat in advance as a D2WP or Alt and get a seat in the back. If I'm deadheading or on a D1/D2 then I go straight to my seat.
Apparently, we have at least one CA telling A1s on DHs to speak with the CA. That's ridiculous. If that happens to you call Pro Standards.
