28 years and countless rides via the jumpseat privilege - some in the cabin and some in the actual jumpseat - and I've always pulled all my required docs out, had them in hand, and offered them to the captain after introducing myself and ASKING for a lift. Most captains wave off the docs, and offer a smile and a handshake, while others look through them all first, THEN offer the smile and the handshake.
Why not just do what's required? It's so easy and courteous.
And Envoy is wholly owned, so therefore IS AA?? That's rich.

This whole thing is probably a result of having the following conversation a hundred times
Person: "You're an airline pilot? Who do you fly for"
Pilot: "I fly for envoy Airlines."
Person: "I've never heard of them."
Pilot: "We used to be called American Eagle."
Person: "Like the t-shirt company?"
Pilot: "No, an airline. Used to be called American Eagle but during the American Airlines merger with US Airways a few years ago they decided to use the American Eagle brand name with other carriers so they renamed us envoy to avoid confusion. We're a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines that flies smaller airplanes but our customer facing operations are designed to be consistent with American so most people think they're on American when they're really flying on us blah blah codeshare blah blah regional blah blah scope blah blah...
Person (not getting it): "So you fly for American Airlines?"
Pilot: *exasperated sigh* "Yeah sure, why not."

And literally telling the CA that you're sitting in the back is a big no-no. I hope the young man who did this reads this thread and learns from it, and doesn't have to be called in to ops and reprimanded.
Bolded part made me laugh though. Cheers.

But general public and Captain you should be ASKING to ride with are totally different. Know your audience.
