U.S. Virgin Islands cockpit jumpseat
Is this allowed? I am going to Saint Thomas and the loads are iffy coming back. Does anyone have insight?
How about jumpseating on American Eagle? I heard that they do not allow any international jumpseaters in the cabin or the cockpit. Can someone shed some light? Thanks!

I think eagle is the same as AA mainline. You have to be on their "international approved" jumpseat list to be allowed to do it internationally... (And from what I hear, they base that on how many international destinations your airline serves... So regional pilots are SOL)... They told me the other day I couldn't jumpseat to canada.... Your mileage may vary...

For international js, I dont know of one airline that allows "off - line" cockpit jumpseating. If there is room in the cabin, yes. But not up front unless you fly for that company.
Just like all the other times someone asks about this topic, check with your jumpseat coordinator.

Right, but you don't need a passport to go the the U.S. Virgin Islands so I am not sure how it is classified....

the way the virgin islands and puerto rico are treated as far as "international" or domestic destinations vary. PR for example is international according to fedex and domestic according to UPS. Im not sure how the eagle/american jumpseating policy is on those routes. Even with us air it can vary. the West guys manual said PR was international and East said it was domestic and would let you ride a jumpseat back to the states.

I stayed with friends (while on reserve) in St. Thomas and I can tell ya, that United, Delta, and Airways all allow you to sit up front in the cockpit. I did it about four times and never had a problem.

Eagle's policy is not the same as AA's in the Caribbean. Eagle treats all jumpseats as domestic, everywhere they go. So you shouldn't have a problem. When I was down there, however, there were occasionally problems with gate agents not understanding the policy difference, and trying to wrongly deny the JS to an offline jumpseater. If this happens, try to catch the flight crew and let them know you're there.
