This problem is unique in that for some reason both ARW and ExpressJet are having problems getting listed for a cabin seat back to the USA from another country. The reservation computer is not allowing this. I have have many reports of pilots working for many hours with station managers in international cities and are unable to get back to the USA. You can jumpseat on United out of the USA to an international destination, but not back into the USA on United.
The UAL Jumpseat Committee apologizes for this and hopes to have this IT/Computer issue fixed soon, but is not certain as to when. As soon as I know that the computer issue has been fixed and successfuly tested, I will let you all know.
In the mean time, if you must ride on United internationally you will have to use a ZED/ID-90 or some other forum of paid ticket.
Wow, funny, they had that same problem for TSA right after they intorduced the per-leg nonrev fees... Odd that it pops up for XJT right when they're about to join the "family" as well...
