So like....when can us regional guys jumpseat on mainline international?
Anyone have any idea on how ALPA is on this?

AFAIK as long as your carrier and the carrier you want to fly on have a jump seat agreement. Worked when I took NW to the Philippines and Thailand.

Has nothing to do with alpa. What you need..
1. Your company must have a jumpseat agreement with the airline in question...odds are good that you do for any US airline. 2. That airline must accept jumpseaters for international flights...some do, some may not. 3. You will not be able to occupy the cockpit jumpseat on the return flight to the US...you will need an available cabin seat. You will most likely not be able to sit in the cockpit outbound either. For international, I'd just non-rev on your mainline partner...higher priority and better shot at first class. Some AAirlines will never allow jumpseaters in first class... |
Why would you want to sit in the jumpseat for that many hours? Most regional have international js agreements... there simply needs to be a seat in the CABIN.

You could try a cargo airline...their "jumpseats" are usually pretty plush. |
You can thank the Thousands Standing Around, Toothpaste Stealing A-holes, Taking Stuff Away, insert any other appropriate name for TSA, They won't allow cockpit jumpseaters on international flights. Stupid... JFK-HNL ok JFK-YUL can't do it.

I'd rather a buy a ticket than go to anywhere in Asia in the JS...or Europe from the west coast. I don't know if chiropractors are readily available overseas.

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. 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.
