Not sure if the rule still exists, but it did not too many years ago.

From: Window seat
MIA to Sao Paulo, Rio, Buenos Aires, Hanover, Germany commuters. No point in listing N. South America cities or the Caribbean because there's probably someone commuting to a lot of them.
JFK - Paris, Rome, Alaska commuters.
DTW - Tel Aviv
LAX - JFK
Hawaii - LAX and DFW.
Rome - JFK commuter. Weight restricted to JFK??? Went to EWR. Bus/train to LGA. Taxi to JFK. Flew overnight to Sao Paulo. We're walking around and his on his phone a lot. Two bank cards shut down....for suspected fraud. Breakfast in Rome, snack in EWR, dinner in JFK, breakfast in Sao Paulo. All within 30 hrs. Bank froze his card for suspected fraud.
Being senior in your seat REALLY helps.

Hi all, Looking to join one of the legacies at some point ideally in the next year. Going to be moving over to the States long term in the next few years, but would ideally like to start before we actually move. Are there international commuting policiesfor any of the carriers? Thanks!
Not to be crass, but.......
1) Commuting is a "choice", I did it just over 20 years
2) In 25 years, airlines have gone from minimal, if any commuter policies to actually pretty decent ones, but......
Why would an international commute policy be different than a domestic one? It's STILL a "choice".

This was well before FDX lost the USPS contract.

Any legacy pilots commuting from/to Asia?
Luckily, you can commute via non rev or hichhiking on cargo flts thesedays,
But How do you manage your pbs bidding to make your life and commute the most effectively?
Of course, a decent seniority has to come in to play a little bit.
