Jumpseating - check in. Any other circumstance - say hi if you bump into the pilots but don't go out of your way. That's how I like it as the operating crew. I personally prefer having as few people parading through the flight deck as possible. Maybe I'm antisocial.

I've done this before because I did not want to interrupt the crew, only it was on a napkin. The captain sent a note back saying thanks for checking in. It was cute. We shared a little moment. The flight attendant thought it was gay. Who knows. Maybe it was a little....

I got lectured after the flight on the jetway in front of all the passengers waiting for their gate checked bags about always asking for the ride when you're on the D6 list. After that I always ask for the ride if I started the process in jumpseat mode regardless of what the gate agent did.
