I heard Leslie Neilson used to stop by the cockpit and say “we’re all counting on you.”

First, why in the hell would we need you?
Secondly,……. no one cares!!!! You’re non-revving,…… you’re interrupting,…… you don’t need the Captain’s permission to non-rev on your own airline. GO SIT DOWN!!!
So because Tyler has apparently never been properly educated on jumpseat and/or non-rev etiquette, let’s cover it here:
* If you’re a non-rev, on your own airline, (or it’s affiliate), with a seat assignment,…… JUST GO SIT DOWN!
* If you’re wanting to ride in a cockpit jumpseat, (on-line OR off-line), go to the cockpit, with your boarding pass, license, medical, and company I.d. in hand, and politely ask the Captain you may ride in his jumpseat.
* If you’re off-line jumpseating, but have a seat in the back,….. stop by the cockpit, introduce yourself, ask the Captain for permission to ride in the back, and thank him/her for the ride.
That’s how it’s done.

This right here is why driving to work is worth its weight in gold!!! Try switching to decaf for a bit before you spin yourself into the overhead!

Our outfit has a three copy jumpseat form, the last copy of which goes to the captain.
We have a company anecdote about a rather portly POI/ASI that somehow found a uniformed jumpseater in back, who had a captain signed form on a jump seat pass, who was given an empty seat in the back where POI Portly ramp checked his documents. Didn't have his medical cert. and the captain got a phone call carpet dance from the CP. I guess it was more of a couch dance without a brass pole and a handful of singles.
Anyway, I always think it's rude for someone to show up empty handed at the cockpit/boxoffice door, with a jumpseat pass, seat or not in the back, own equipment or offline, without the documents in their hands. Why do you make me ask for them?
I do a secret. but polite, eye roll at the "if you need any help" phrase if they don't have a shoebox full of $50's.
With all the low time, new hire's, we all have now, I'm with the OP on JS etiquette review. If I have to recite starter limits every few months for 25 years for a check airmen, new guys can get a etiquette briefing on an anonymous message board with my blessing every now and then.
