If you request a jumpseat, and the agent gives you a seat in back via that privilege, check in with the flight crew. Introduce yourself, hand the captain your credentials and your boarding pass, and ASK if you may ride along.

Seems like ancestor worship. By getting a seat in the back I've basically already been given permission to ride along. Just seems like an unnecessary practice in this day and age.

You aren't given anything. You don't have a right to be on the airplane whether or not a gate agent allowed you to sit in the seat. The Jumpseat is an agreement between you and the Captain. He is within every right to not allow you to board regardless whether you were given a seat or not.

When I’m a captain, I hope to never see a single person come up to the cockpit that has a seat in the back. Waste of everyone’s time.
Tell me one good reason you need someone to come kiss your ass?
If it’s in the FOM then great we can all high five, if not then get over yourself. You’re a bus driver that’s a captain by seniority only.

Making everyone bend the knee to get a ride and go through all the pointless banter thay goes along with it old fashioned, unnecessary and a waste of everyone's time.
