Jumpseat on Singapore
Does anybody know if we can ride Singapore internationally? I am thinking of taking them from EWR-SIN. I am pretty sure riding up front won't be an option, just not sure if they will let crewmembers from other airlines ride in the back.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I once caught a Cathay jumpseat from Taipei to HKG without a ticket. The Capt. was very nice about it (the ticket agents were not). There was a Flight Attendant on the other jumpseat (she said anyone could sit in their cockpit j/s including revenue passengers, this was pre-911 so maybe the policy is different now).
Side story ... the ticket agents were very concerned about the oversold status of the flight. They told the Capt. they wanted to be able to put company employees on the jumpseats. His response, "My, airplane ... my jumpseats ... I say who goes ... the FedEx guy goes." He then turned and walked away. I was very impressed and thought about how many U.S. Capt's could learn a lesson from that example.

This wouldn't happen in a million years here at cathay......maybe pre 9/11 but definately not now......they charge there own employees just to non-rev and after that, they still don't get biz or first.....
