When I j/s on other airlines and get a seat from the agent I go and sit down. Everyone should do that.

If you’re off-line, with a seat assignment, always thank the Captain for his/her hospitality.

I guess im old and crusty but I can’t imagine jumping offline and not asking for a ride from the crew, regardless of seat assignment in hand. Entitlement is strong in some

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.

Secondly, once I get to the plane , I stop at the cockpit door , leaving my roller bag in the galley as I chat it up with the purser , letting her know I’ll be in the back , you know , in case she needs anything. Next I formally introduce myself to the capt and FO . Asking how their day is going and where their layover is . And of course if I’ve been there , gotta point out the good bars and strip clubs . Now the capt wants to see my credentials so now I go back to the galley and get it out of my roller bag , and once again, gotta chat it up with the Purser.
Now all that’s done , I make my way to my seat , while answering pax questions about the flight , plane and airport along the way . I also formally introduce myself to any FA I see, let them know I’m in the back , just in case they need anything.I’m addition, I help any pax I can with their bags and close any open overhead bin . Now that I’m almost to my seat , I turn around just in time to catch a glimpse of the hot FA in the rear galley and of course I go introduce myself , just in case …….wait for it ………………………,.,,,, just in case she needs anything. Now we are ready for departure.

Well what have we here? It seems we have a very diverse opinion on all of this now days. We really need to get the word out via the unions and come up with a standard operating procedure for jumpseat. I am still old school and insist to the lead flight attendant that I talk to the pilots to politely ask for a ride. But if all this is changing, I’m good with that also.
Also, why are guys even asking for certificates and medicals anymore? I haven’t ask for that crap ever. If the pilot made it past the gate agent, they are good with a company ID. PS…..Delta always asks me for EVERYTHING even my blood type and political affiliation lmao. Half of that was kind of a joke.
