It also appears that the Jumpseat can actually be assigned at the discretion of the captain. Has anyone done this lately? Has anything changed? Thanks.
Nothing has changed. Go to the gate and sign up for the jumpseat.
From the ALPA website:
INTERNATIONAL: Pre-listing for OMC through UA’s reservation system is not required. For US outbound flights, the check in process is conducted at the departure gate. For international inbound flights to the US, check in must be completed at the international station ticket counter. The pilot must pay all applicable departure fees and taxes for the specific flight. All offline international jumpseat travel is restricted to Cabin Seating only. In the event that UA imposes temporary international NRSA travel embargos, cabin seat jumpseats are not bound by these restrictions.
