Jumpseat within EU?

[speedbird1974]

I want to try jumpseating within the EU. Most likely from Brussels or Amsterdam. Does anyone have a suggestion? Anyone ever tried a cargo outfit such as TNT? Is it considered international if you travel within the European Union? I'm trying to go to Spain.

Airlines in Europe are not as j/s freindly as over here. You usually have to have some form of ticket..However...Spanish airlines are more like we are used to and the captain is the captain when it comes to his/her jumpseat.

Do either UPS or FedEx allow jumpseaters from their humbes in Europe (FRA and CDG I think)

My friends at SAS (Scandinavian) have to buy equivalent to an ID90 when they fly on their own airline. Jumpseating in most European countries is reserved for the FAA (CAA, or whatever name they use) and company check airmen...
It's a great benefit we have here in the good ‘ole US of A and I hope we'll always keep it...Every now and then some foreign carrier will allow a pilot from a code-share airline ride along but then only in the back if there are open seats. I've heard of Lufthansa take on some United pilots, etc...

Both UPS and FedEx are CASS and right now CASS is only approved for domestic flights. So unless you work for those two carriers you will not be able to catch a ride...Courtesy of the TSA...
