Don't get me wrong, I wish I worked for a mainline operation but unfortunately they aren't hiring.
No matter what size or shape of airplane it is, the jumpseat belongs to the CAPTAIN of that ship! RJ, Prop, or 747-400. The Captain controls the use of the jumpseat. Period. You are EXACTLY right - it is just COMMON COURTESY to ASK for the privilege of using the jumpseat. Right on, brother!
