Jumpseat = Wear ID on the flight deck (I would think every company has this in their FOM)
Passenger = Don't wear ID unless you want to be treated special and/or be on the standby security detail

"Hey Fed....take your FAA i.d. and lanyard off while observing this flight...you look like a fool, according to some of the forums"
It just seemed obvious to me that you should always wear your credentials while occupying a flight deck jumpseat.
Only airline pilots could have 5 pages on why we should not.

Sidetrack alert: I was taught it was a no-no to have a beer/cocktail while jumpseating, even in the back. Non-revving... drink away, jumpseat and it's tonic water and a lime. Am I remembering this wrong?

That's my policy when jumpseating. Probably worrying over nothing but to me, having a beer isn't worth risking that one in a million scenario or knowing every company's policy. I'm a pilot so of course I love a free beer or cocktail as much as anyone but I'll just wait till I get where I'm going.

But yes, offline jumpseating typically means no booze with a few exceptions.

A lot of folks seem hung up on other pax knowing that you got a free seat. Is that really an issue a lot of people are encountering? Is there some kind of shame I should be feeling for getting a free seat (assuming there is even one to be had!) while Joe Schmoe has to pay $89 to get to Denver?

No, it just opens up a whole host of annoying conversation topics or rants (especially lately). Blend in and you can watch your tv show, read a book or take a nap in peace. Why are people hung up on wearing their ID around their neck while off duty? I usually get a tool vibe from people who do that. Just saying.
