Also had to pay some international taxes, was about 120 bucks one way, they didn't mention the taxes on the way there so not sure if I was charged; however, on the way back I had to talk to someone on the phone and pay with my Debit Card and they printed me a receipt showing I had paid the taxes.

From: 7ER B...whatever that means.
I was just able to JS on Delta from PDX - ATL - LGW (London Gatwick) and back successfully.
The way there they put me in 1st and treated me real well, the way back they gave me a hard time and you must check in at the counter 1.5 hours prior to departure bla bla bla. I got coach which was fine on the way back.

I despise TSA screeners as much as the next guy, but it's my understanding that it is a combination of company policy and international security regulations, not a TSA regulation. I very well could be wrong, but during a conversation with a DHS employee (not a screener btw) I was told that TSA has no issues with it and that it is purely a company/foreign relations issue.

I don't think they let people jumpseat who start sentences with "So like...." I think it's an issue of intelligence
...
My company allows jumpseaters from any company we have an agreement with. There are plenty of regionals on it, but you may have to take an IQ test first

You can sit in the actual js even if not working, on your own airline.

For the people asking, "Why would you even wanna sit in the jumpseat for that long of time?!?!". It's only a 3 hour flight from CUN-ORD. Or even AMS-IAD is 5 hours, and it's on a 777 or 767, and it's better in the jumpseat than not getting back home. We're a UAX carrier and I wasn't able to list for the jumpseat from CUN-ORD on United this past week.

Not at Mesaba. The jumpseat is not allowed to be occupied by anyone on international flights. No commuting Mesaba pilots, no checkairmen, no FAA, NOBODY. Sucks, but the only 2 cities it could be an issue for us would be Winnepeg or Montreal right now anyway.
