I am trying to jumpseat to Santiago, Chile (SCL) in February. I just had a few questions for any Polar/Atlas guys that fly this route. I am a CASS pilot.
The MIA to SCL route stops over in VCP. DO I need a visa for Brazil even though I will not be staying there? What are my odds getting on MIA-SCL-MIA? I've been to the Polar/Atlas jumpseat website, just wanted a few more details. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year and Thanks.
 
There is no longer such a thing as international jumpseating for offline pilots. You need to either get a pass or have an international jumpseat agreement with a carrier that permits a pilot to occupy a cabin seat instead. I do not know of any freight carriers that permit international cabin riders due to aircraft configuration/security requirements.

that's odd because they gave me a ride from Seoul a year ago and my employer has no special international agreement, just CASS.

CaptSeth do you work for Polar/Atlas?

apparently not
 
Polar/Atlas are outstanding to JS on. Used them to get to HKG and Australia pretty much every year for the last 4 years.

Log onto their website and fill out the OAL request. All easy from there.

Kalitta and Evergreen are pretty good as well.

I heard they took guys international. Any problems? Pretty straight forward? Thanks


Find the hotel (through Atlas/Polar) for the crew and meet them there to ride the van with them to the gate. No problems and straight forward made it a great JS experience....they even had extra catering!

With all due respect, it is usually the wiser decision to refrain from offering information on subjects of which you know nothing about.

At the time, Polar is not operating that route in S. America. I do not know for certain whether Atlas is, but a simple call to AAWH operations on your part will not only answer that, but allow you to sign up for the jumpseat as well.

You're being CASS is the only requirement that I know of to register for the jumpseat, and fly aboard our "friendly skies," anywhere in the world.

Good luck, and I hope it works out for you. Remember to request the Picanha for your return jumpseat to the States!
