International Jumpseatingd

Does anyone have any news on if there have been any policy changes to internationally jumpseating on ups/fdx with the TSA's lifting of the restriction placed after 9/11?

I jumped UPS to SDF the other day (thanks guys!) and they had also read the article of the TSA's lifting of the ban however they had no idea what the company's standing policy no the issue is. With nice seats in the back this would make it much easier to get to a few places.

Thanks

Not so that someone can sit in the cockpit for several hours, but because you still need to list for JS to sit in the back and some places.

Also, the ALPA reps out a blastmail regarding some of the IT/logistical issues/ Not so much leaving the U.S., but coming back.
