I know we did on flights I worked when I was doing international but don’t know if that’s the norm or not.

OL international jumpseaters are relatively rare but the 2 occasions that I saw them the Capt in both occasions asked the flight lead to put them in FC if there were open seats. One time there was, one time there wasn’t.

This includes Delta pilots.

I'm assuming that went away with the "board with your zone*" while DH'ing memogate.
*for "Main Cabin 1" if you aren't absolutely first in that zone, its 90% full by the time you get on, especially if you say hi to the crew like the outdated days of old fashioned CRM protocol. By the time MC1 is full, there's ppl in every seat, overhead bin, lav, cargo bin and some out on the wings.

Ummmmm.....trick question? "What is 'TRUE,' Alex."
You can't AE into a category unless there is a vacancy. If someone is VD'd/MD'd out, there are no vacancies, only surplus positions, (otherwise there wouldn't have been a VD/MD).
