If you read after where it says OAL pilots are prohibited from jumpseating it states from outside the us back in. Hope this helps..
It's true! I tried Jumpseating out of IAH to Mexico for a buddies Bachelor Party and I could not do it! They had just changed the policy and it sounded like no Offline jumpseaters (Even in the cabin) could not use the "Jumpseat" priviledge. Cannot be done unfortunately. Retarded...needs to be changed.
I meant its true it CANNOT be done. They can print it out all they want, it says clear as day (The Red Coat showed me) INTERNATIONAL....says nothing about "Back into the USA"....all it states is "INTERNATIONAL Jumpseating by an offline Pilot cannot be done"....The problem is they cant even put our name into the system.
