This was a first. The flight was full but I didn’t see any pilots listed on the jumpseat. So I told her I can just ask the captain if i can store it on the flight deck. I’ve done it a few times. If I get denied for whatever reason, then I’ll just check it on the jetbridge as she was following me down there anyway. She claims they “aren’t allowed to let us get on like that” or something equivalent to that. I said ok and looked the other way and just shook my head and rolled my eyes.

She said it like she was an authority figure over me or something. I wanted to say something else to her since I saw her talking rudely to other passengers, but didn’t want to cause a scene, since that’s not a good look for a pilot.

I asked the captain and he said yea sure no problem. Set my bag upfront, secured it, then I looked at the agent as I went back to take my seat and she gave me this evil look. Wasn’t trying to be an axx or anything, just doing what is actually allowed. She clearly didn’t like me “going over her head.” Oh well.
