And to the rest of the Cargo & Passenger carrying world that allows us to jumpseat anyway ... Thank you very much!

I know I've seen the justification for this somewhere before but I can't remember the reason. JS agreements are supposed to be reciprocal so I'm not sure how FedEx, UPS, AA, and a few others get away with their selective international agreements. I'm not suggesting restricting your access but you guys really need to fix ours.

There's certain security directives that the ACMI's comply with that Fedex and UPS don't. Hence an ACMI being able to take JS'ers int'l. As long as it's not a DOD contact or their customer doesn't prohibit it, which has happened on occasion
As far as AA is concerned, yep, dumbest ever. But I believe that's going, or has gone away with their merger. "If you're airline can't take me to Europe, Asia, South America, we can't take you there".

For that, we should get passes on every other airline, at the same rate their employees pay.
