It just like checking a bag when non-reving. Go to counter and tell them you will be jumpseating and would like to check this bag. They will put a big stand-by tag on it and will not load the bag until you've been cleared. You will have a checked bag receipt that you can track your bag with on the Delta phone app.

I’ve done it. It was easy. No one cared. I accepted the risks of not making it. Of course I had also checked the loads on that particular flight prior to going.
I’m not sure why AWAX is so disgruntled over the idea.

Yep, I've checked bags as a jumpseater many times, too. Went to the ticket counter, showed my ID and told them I was trying to jumpseat and wanted to check a bag. Never had a hassle or issue, even when checking firearms.
As has been said, if you're willing to accept the risk of having your bag make it if you don't, then it is a non-issue.

Without introducing yourself to the Capt. of the flight and receiving permission to ride, what's the basis for expecting that you (and your checked bag) would be accommodated?
I'll skip the SSI concerns on an open forum, but dude, really?

About the only thing you know is you ask the CA for a ride. The rest you seem unfamiliar with.

United Agents Refused This- Policy Change?

Any actual guidance from UAL for this? They actually went as far as to say I'm not even supposed to jumpseat unless it's to go to work, can't be personal use. Very strange interaction for trying to OAL jumpseat on UA with a checked bag. Basically told me the only way to check it is at the gate and if you can't get the big bag through security it's your problem. Is there a workaround or solution for this?

Ended up having to pay to check it on my girlfriends reservation with a different airline.
