I am quite confused.

As a nondependent of an airline employee, without showing a badge and passport you were able to obtain a jumpseat as a cabin crew?

And then once aboard the aircraft, the purser, who knew you had a cabin jumpseat assignment, introduced you to the pilots, who then in turn didn't check your passport, badge, or cockpit jumpseat pass allowed you to sit in the jumpseat?

Care to explain?
