Default FDX/UPS/CKS/GTI jumpseat with dog?

Hey all, here's a question that's probably never been posted - do any of these outfits allow a jumpseater with a dog under 20#?

Atlas or Kalitta are more likely. I believe at Atlas it would be Captains discretion - I know we flew every zoo animal in the world and several military working dogs in the upper deck - must be in a kennel the entire time.

i would simply book the jumpseat and introduce yourself, ask if they might accommodate the dog, and be understanding if the Captain declined. When I was there it would have likely not been a problem.

Thanks for your input...yes of course always Captain's discretion and I would expect to keep her in the kennel.

In the past we had a few military canine visitors on the upper deck, but that was restricted back down to the main deck on the freighter later on and in their kennel of course. JS, that’s an interesting thought let us know the outcome domestically speaking of course. International is a no bueno obviously.

Not sure if it’s allowed…but I can’t imagine the flight mech being terribly happy about a dog p/ssing and dumping all over his plane.
