Checking in as a an JS is expected, however. Seat in back or not. You’ll ride regardless, but I always appreciate the courtesy, P or FA, of asking, not telling me you’ve got a seat in back. Not enough courtesy in society anymore.
Yeah when I said "cabin seat" I meant JS status with seat in back.
I don't check-in for nonrev, DH, revenue ticket etc. If it's company and not congested I might say hi in case I know somebody.
For those who might be inclined to hunt down and school cabin jumpseaters, just don't. If you really must, better be sure they're an actual JSer. I got detained by an RJ CA once when on a revenue ticket, profiled because I had a crew bag (despite sporting both civvies and a beard). He pointed out that I didn't check in and asked what my travel status was, so without saying a word I got out my skymiles platinum card... he looked terrified, must have been hoping to flow to mainline DL. He hadn't quite pushed me to the point of actually complaining to DL.
