I've never had that problem with UA, DL, HA, AS, GT, K4, etc. Does AA simply not extend reciprocal (cabin) jumpseating to international legs? Or is there an alternate listing procedure?
As an US 121 OAL you are not allowed to physically occupy the cockpit jumpseat. You can list, but the gate agents have to give you an actual seat (excluding the f/a jumpseat).*
As long as you can list as a jumpseater on an international flight, you shouldn't worry as long as there are seats available in the cabin.
