I basically commute to Belize and have to use a ZED to get down (sometimes to get back but the gate agents go to bat for me since I know them). I used to jumpseat all the time and even used to sit in the cockpit. Now, Freakin Osama screwed my life up. I spend a lot of money on passes and still cant figure out why airlines have different lists. Why even have an international list? Anyways, if you are not on the international list with CO then I wish you luck. You will need it. I have even asked the crews down in IAH and they wont let me jumpseat anymore. Dont even bother with the gate agents. One gate agent told me that NOBODY can jumpseat international anymore, not even a Continental pilot. Just plain stupid if you ask me. I think every pilot in this whole industry should be up in arms about those carriers who have only one jumpseat and different lists. We fly all over Canada but have no international list. Why is that? We also take unlimited jumpseaters. If something goes wrong in the back and the FA needs help, the more jumpseaters the better. I refuse to start a jumpseating war so I do not due this, but I feel like not letting those pilots on who have international lists and they want to go to Canada on my flight. Also, those who will only take one jumpseater. I get denied the jumpseat all the time on American because they will only take one of us, but I took 4 American guys out of MIA one time.
