International Jumpseating

[akairman702]

To any American, Continental or Delta Pilots... I'm an Alaska F.O. who is going to be in Ireland in the next few days and would like to save a few $ by jumpseating to and from Dublin from the U.S.. I have non-rev tickets just in case but if I'm able to jumpseat (not in the jumpseat... just on a pass) I can refund the tickets. We have reciprocal arrangements with all of these companys. Does anyone know if that includes international flying as well? I appreciate the help.

You might want to try US Airways. They do Dublin and Shannon flights. Every seat is a jumpseat.

Just my .02

same with AA, for you Alaska guys (unlimited j/s). I think we do Dublin out of ORD and Shannon out of BOS.

good luck,

I believe AA and Continental do not allow International off-line jump-seaters. I had the most success on UAL, DAL, and US Airways. I jump seat to the old country at least twice every year.

Yes, AA allows offline int'l jumpseaters to airlines on the int'l reciprocal j/s list. Alaska is on that list. So are most major airlines.

I do have to correct something in my above post, though - AA doesn't allow unlimited jumpseaters on int'l flights, even to those who are on the unlimited list. Sucks, I know.

Well, thanks for the info. I wish the AA gate agents would also know about it. They have turned me down more than once.

Last month I flew USair to SNN and DL back. Sat in Business both ways, very friendly crews. Unfortunately I didn't realize that you need to list 24 hours in advance to j/s back to the US on USAirways. (It's only a 2 hour rule at DL.) To add insult, no one in SNN knew how to list me for the next day or could give me an accurate US phone number.

My advice: USAirways over (light loads vs DL because they have 2 flights to Ireland out of PHL every night vs 1 DL flight out of ATL.) DL coming back (check in a least 2 hours prior.)

Also, USAir takes unlimited j/s'ers. DL only takes one due to the IRO occupying the other j/s.

there's a surpirse...

sorry man. Even our own employees sometimes get left behind by harrassful (sp?) agents.

BOS-SNN is on a 757, ORD-DUB is a 767. If I were the CA I'd put you in First - but I'm way too junior. LOL.

Alaska is on Continental's approved international jumpseat list. CASS is also apparently working with Alaska, per the latest CO jumpseat bulletin.

Limited to cabin only, and limited to # of actual jumpseats open.

I'm with AA Connection. Can I still jumpseat internationally on AA???

AA does not allow international jumpseaters on the airplane (cabin nor cockpit).

I have tried several times and have been told (by the counter ticket agents) 100%of the time that AA does not permit any international jumpseaters (unless you work for AA).

I just jumpseated internationally with Continental last week and the gate agent was not certain but then the Captain showed us both a pink bullentin from his manuals that showed which carries are permitted the jumpseat(in the cabin that is) internationally ( I believe they were the ones with asteriks by them)

Hope this helps.

Freebird-

What airline are you with? Because AA only allows pilots from certain airlines to occupy a cabin seat (or a cockpit seat, if your airline is CASS.) Your airline has to be one of the approved airlines on the int'l list, as follows:

Alaska
Aloha
Continental
Delta
Northwest
United

If you don't work for one of those, unfortunately they won't let you j/s internationally. It's also limited to the # of jumpseats in the cockpit, unlike Domestic unlimited (D6U).

Blowjets - I don't think so, since none of the AX carriers (TSA, Chq) are on the Int'l list. However, aren't you guys allowed to D2? If so, you should be able to D2 internationally.
