As I understand the current situation to/from/within the USA is:
- Foreign Carrier: Only active/deadhead crew and pre-approved loadmaster/cargo attendants allowed.

-US Carrier: Only active/deadhead/off duty crew members and in special cases employees allowed.

I have heard many myths (ranging from never possible to possible with certain reinforced doors etc..) but have not yet seen nor found (google doesn't show much) any relevant documents concerning this issue.


Thank you very much,
