American has a separate international jumpseat list that generally only includes the legacy airlines and Southwest.
They'll come ride international in your jumpseat, but they won't reciprocate unless you're on their special list.

In the interest of full disclosure; I'm just about to board a beautiful Canyon Blue jet to go home because American, although closer to my home and leaving earlier, is too much of a hassle at 0500.

(assuming the "gatekeeper" does more than grunt in your general direction).

I remember in my prior life, while non-revving on AA, the gatekeepers would seemingly purposely type on their terminals and look at your, say "argh", then type some more, look back at you, say "argh", and this would go on for 10 minutes. Finally I obtained my category and even the proper keystroke from a AA employee I was having "liasion" with and would just tell them "Hit XXX then you will see D-8, that is me"

And hopefully it won't take a freaking decade for the TSA's latest on that to FINALLY make it's way to each airline that DOESN'T allow cockpit access when JS'ing international.
Edited to add;
If you work for the airline going international, you CAN JS in the cockpit.

Reminder: when jumpseating on American domestically, list online at www.bit.ly/aajumpseat. No need to call the NonRev number anymore.
International CASS is coming, probably within the next year.
