Could you imagine if every non rev checked in departing from ATL? We'd never leave!

Its great to be nice, but there is no reason to check in while a non rev.

I always try to stop up front and say hi if I get the chance, even if I am just non revving. All I know is that on my flights, I like to know if we have any talent in the back, just in case we might need them. United 232 ring a bell? It's just common courtesy, as long as you aren't interrupting anything, and it only takes a few seconds.

Don't talk to me if you're nonreving.

I DON'T CARE.

And if I am nonreving I get my ticket, get on the plane, say good afternoon to the greeting flight attendant, walk straight to my seat, and go to sleep.

Every time I JS/nonrev on WN, the lead FA directs me to check in with the CA.

When I go on USA, I am always told to submit my nonrev paperwork to the CA. I have even been asked for my certificate & medical so the CA can see it. Once when riding in the back.

I check in with the crew with a quick thanks regardless.

When non-revving I'll say hi only if it's convenient for both parties or if I know the guys operating.

Jumpseating ≠ Nonreving

Do you work for Southwest? No? Then you cannot nonrev.

I say hi when I can, only when I'm in uniform. The other day, a flight was weight restricted from phl-lga, but the pdt crew worked it out to get me on, of course I went and thanked them while chit chat for few mins.

Deadheading I don't say hi unless I know the crew, but of course I stay after everyone deplanes then help with seat belts at least.

Anytime I'm riding in the back of a different carrier, I will go and ask for their blessings.

Saw some angry posts here about "why are you saying hi???" were you guys not hugged when you were little? It's not that hard to be nice to others... geez

My opinion, pass travelers,deadheads, nonrev need not check in with the crew.
Had guy like that a few years back. I just told the FA my seat number and that if he want to say hi that's the place to find me.There was 18 of us and I was wondering if he want all of us to say hi to him. He never showed and its to bad as I was looking forward to a little conversation with him.
