I guess the Caring part.
We’re not asking them to give up anything. Just to allow pilots the use of the FA jumpseat. That could help a co-worker. But they choose no. Kind of a bad look (in the parlance of our times)

I used to work at Jetblue. We had a program that allowed flight attendants to sit on the flight deck Jumpseat. It was called an observation ride and they could do it once a year. The problem was some of them would do it 25-30 times a year and the Faa pulled it. So it can be done if all parties agree to the rules. I liked it for the most part. They could only use it if no other pilot (online or off) needed it.

I recently had a FA who celebrated her 50th anniversary with United. That means she’s been w/the company 2 1/2 times longer than JetBlu has been in existence. I don’t want to have to compete against that for a ride to work. My biggest beef is with FAA guys who show up 5 minutes before boarding and boot you off the one guppy JS. Make then ride on the FA jumpseats, especially when they’re just scamming a ride.
