I remember some guy that came up to us once and said he was a Private and if we needed help he'd be in the back. The CA turned around and said: "Son, if you can start it up, its yours!" ... lol
I can't believe nobody else posted a "LOL" comment about this! CRJDriver - that's totally true, and hilarious.
We had a private pilot get on the plane during my transition OE to the CRJ-900 and he told us he'd been flying since (insert long ago decade here, possibly 60s), and he'd be keeping his eye on us to make sure we did well. "Thanks bud, 'preciate the help!"

Thank you for the read. I've got an hour and a half to kill at work.. This should help pass the time a little quicker.
Edit: And clearly, we as pilots all need the window seat, am I right? It's never our fault for booking the wrong seat!

Nice! I had a private pilot tell me after landing that I needed to have our "wheel bearings" inspected once. Apparently he was unfamiliar with a grooved runway.

Is your union trying to get a reciprocal jumpseat agreement going with airlines?
I know of at least one airline that would be interested!
I always feel awkward walking in without introducing myself (since the company seems to insist we travel to work and home in uniform...) but 99% of the time I just make my way to my seat, plop down, shove my case under the seat and I'm normally sleeping before the cabin door is shut.
One time, I had a FA tell me I should go talk to the captain. I did. He told me a dirty joke (not awfully dirty, but one I wouldn't tell my wife's grandmother). We chuckled. It was no big deal. Airline folks, correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a feeling 99% of the pilots don't care if you stop by to say hi or not when you've got a ticket.

From a safety standpoint it is good to know about on duty and off duty crew members. Even if you don't work for my airline, you bet your ass if crap hits the fan, I will use you if need be.
Could care less if you stop by if you are on a paid ticket or on pass travel, but it is nice to know if you can make yourself visiable via an ID hanging out, uniform, etc.
Understandable. I stand out pretty good. I look like the stay puft marshmallow man with epaulets and pants.

There's no requirement on your part, since you're on a paid ticket. The FA probably just assumed you were getting a free ride since you were in uniform. Before I got furloughed, if I wasn't jumpseating, I never wore my uniform. In fact, even if I was jumpseating, I still didn't wear a uniform. Personally, I'd rather just blend in and not stick out like a sore thumb like you tend to do when dressed the part.

That's just, like, your opinion, man
And the 1% that do care should be flogged.
It catches my eye when a uniformed pilot gets on without saying anything, but I pretty much default to "oh he must have a ticket" unless I've been specifically told I have a jumpseater. The only guy who's jumpseated without saying a word was an AirTran guy, which is strange because every AirTran pilot I've dealt with besides him was great. 5%'ers I guess.
