This post is ridiculous anyway.. A mainline CO pilot cannot jumpseat internationally on UA, or vice vesa. Only company pilots are allowed to on part 121 airlines.

You have to clarify when using the jumpseat term as it applies to international travel.

Can an offline pilot JS on (insert offline carrier here) to get a ride to (insert international destination here)? Of course they can. In the above case a CO pilot get on a UAL flight from say SYD and go to LAX using the JS privilege as long as there is an open seat in the back.

Are they allowed to occupy the ACTUAL cockpit JS when going to (insert international destination here)? Thats a WHOLE different deal when referring to U.S. legacy/major airlines. ACMI's handle it differently.

Atreyu. If there are open seats why would you even nonrev on UA at all don't you have to pay??

Jumpseating is EASY.

In the last month I have been to SYD BKK NRT EZE now I'm in KOA (not int'l but I thought I'd rub it In a little.

That's OK. There WAS a time when it (Hawaii) WAS considered international for JS purposes.

How was EZE? I've heard it's pretty cool. I was planning a trip there last month but it didn't work out.

Christ! Are you in these cities just long enough to grab a beer and then hop right back on an airplane?! Factor in the travel time and you must not ever work! Sorry if I seem skeptical, I think that's just the jealousy talking.;)

To answer the original poster's question, my understanding is that you can jumpseat internationally on any carrier you have an international jumpseat agreement with (check with your jumpseat coordinator). HOWEVER, you are NOT able to occupy the ACTUAL JUMPSEAT when traveling internationally i.e., there MUST be a seat in the back.

BTW, starting a question with "so like...blah blah blah" make you sound like a 15 year old high school girl. Like, totally.;)

I believe the TSA forbids this for international inbound...at least the two companies I worked for did.

I should have been more specific in my earlier post... I use the term JS for any seat on the flight. I wasn't being specific about the actual cockpit seat. So no, you can't ride up front on the inbound with every company as previously stated in other posts. Thanks gentlemen for clarifying that.

This was freak'n hysterical by the way :D

At NWA we can ride in the actual for all international flights except into PVG.

That's not entirely true. I've jumpseated on AA certAAin AAirline quite AA bit and I must sAAy that I've been in First/Business ClAAss more than I've been in CoAAch.
