Recommend you talk to your jumpseat committee, cause it sounds like a simple paperwork exercise to get Delta FDAR approved.

Just a quick follow up to close out the thread.
Ended up doing an ID90 on Cathay Pacific to get to Hong Kong and spent one night there visiting a couple friends flying out there. Tried to get on Delta flight Stateside with Atlas flights as a backup. Delta flight was full so ended up on their jumpseat.
And... it worked like a champ. Once the Atlas handler met me, I got escorted through security, passport, etc, and drove out to the plane. I ended up connecting through ANC to get back and both sets of crews I flew with were great guys. Totally comfortable upstairs with the big seats and an extra bunk. Plenty of food. Customs at ANC was painless. Basically...it rocked. It was great to see the other side of the industry and watch how it all worked. And...since I'll never fly a 747 at Delta
it was cool to get a ride upstairs in the big fella.
Thanks for all the input. And a big thanks to all the Atlas guys out there. Top notch all the way. Was a great experience and hope to return the favor to you all one day.
