EOS & Maxjet London jumpseat Q
I am looking into jumpseating to London (Stansted) on EOS (EWR-STN?) or Maxjet (JFK-STN?). First of all, they are both CASS so I assume I can ride but only in the back since this is an international flight, correct?
What are the procedures and what are the schedules? I'd like to fly out on Jan 7, 8, or 9 and come back on Jan 14, 15, or 16, depending on y'alls schedules. I can fly on my own airline but I’ve heard good things about both Eos and Maxjet and figured it’d be nice to try something new...
Thanks for your help.

Why does everyone assume that CASS determines whether they can ride or not? For international, CASS doesn't matter a fig. What determines whether you can ride - international OR domestic - is whether your airline has a reciprocal jumpseat agreement with the airline you are jumpseating on. There should be a list in your FOM. If not, check with your union's jumpseat committee.
MaxJet has been pretty good about establishing jumpseat agreements but EOS has been very selective. On either one, make sure you dress sharp.

International Jumpseat
What determines whether you can ride - international OR domestic - is the PIC!
BTW, I just jumpseated to the UK and back earlier this month and the carrier was VERY interested in my CASS status. They checked it here in the US and in England before clearing me.

is it fair to say that all of these things have to align, and in this order:
1. jumpseat agreement
2. CASS
3. captain
if you don't have a reciprocal jumpseat agreement with them, you can't even talk to them.
if you're not in CASS, but have a reciprocal jumpseat agreement, you could still get on though, right?
if you don't have a reciprocal jumpseat agreement, and/or you're not in CASS, you'll never even get a chance to ask the captain, right? unless he's by the gate maybe...and even then, if he says yes, that's still not good enough, right?
i'm asking these things, not stating them. i'm not sure how it all comes together.

CASS only means you can sit in the actual. Only good for domestic flights. Some gate agent may have checked you in CASS, but being in there or not doesnt mean anything when traveling internationally (this is supposed to change soon). In general you must have an agreement, but in the past the captain has been able to override that (pre 9-11). Nowadays, I would say that no agreement, no jumpseaty. The captain can always turn down a jumpseat request.
