The airline I worked for in Indonesia welcome the engineer to sit in the jumpseat, but if they weren't required to be there to troubleshoot a problem, then they usually chose to sit in the cabin unless, of course, when we were full and they had no choice. On such occasions, I got the impression they felt uneasy being in the cockpit, which I suspect is due to the authority gradient.
