I think a lot of it is because we all need to sit down and create one standard and make sure the industry is briefed on it.

Jumpseat etiquette has largely become like a casserole recipe. They're all different and everyone swears everyone else is doing it wrong.

Funeral Potatoes. Anchor Mom knows how to cook them.

I think so. Not asking for permission degrades PIC authority, and that is something we are barely hanging on to.

The PIC can exercise their authority on things like fuel planning, routes around weather, pressure to be on time, welfare of the rest of the crew, maintenance issues, etc. I don't see why people want to watch their fellow pilots beg for a ride as part of some ritual.
 
Generally company guys wont ask other company guys, in uniform, for their license.

But here was my jumpseat yesterday, "Well, the other guy is a line check airman, so I need to see your license".

So you don't check licen

If they don't wind up begging the PIC they'll wind up begging the gate agent instead. Who would you like to have making that decision?

I seem to remember that when on line, and in uniform, only the ID check is required, but in civilian clothes, the full gamut has to be eyeballed. Too lazy to walk across the room and pick up the S3 to check though.

Cargo pants, especially ones with zippers to convert them to shorts, even when worn with a button down shirt and dress shoes, probably aren't the best choice of attire when catching a ride on another carrier.

And this was an SJI widebody captain, so it's not like he just didn't know better.
