I have jumpseated on United overseas and have been treated great. I listed myself by talking to reservations agent and explained my situation (not part of United or United Express) and requested to be listed as an OMC. OMC is how United calls jumpseaters and when you check in for the return flight you must tell the check-in folks that you are a pilot and are listed as OMC. They do not always know what the term "Jumpseater" means.
Also, being listed in advance clears up any confusion about any kind of 24 or 48 hour listing rule.
I recently flew IAD-ZRH and back in United Business (incredible new business suites on the 767) and went over for free and came back for $70 for the airport fees in ZRH.
United has been terrific to me as a jumpseater and non-revver over the years and I don't hesitate to recommend them.

What can I point to when gate agents won't budge? Last time I jumpseated on a domestic flight the pilots got out their GOM and read through it and I remember it sounding very vague.
When gate agents pull us up on Sabre, it says jumpseat approved but when the category of international comes up it says something of the disapproval nature. My hope is that the disapproval is just for cockpit jumpseating and not cabin jumpseating.
any past experience appreciated.

How do you do this (International Jumpseat on AA Mainline)?

Is your carrier on their international reciprocal JS list? Some are, some are not.
I believe I read in another thread that SouthWest is on their international JS list, as well as UPS.
