UAL OMC (jumpseat) question

[NOZ]

I want to OMC (jumpseat with seat in the back) over to BRU or AMS from IAD with a friend who also wants to OMC (I know, we're cheap). I know that there can only be as many jumpseaters internationally as available seats on the flight deck. So my question is this, do they have a relief pilot on these flights? The block time looks to be about 7 and half hours, so I would guess not. But I don't know, I would like for both of us to get on the same flight. I appreciate any help, thanks.

Unlimited is only for domestic.... Bummer.

The limit is based on the physical number of jumpseats, and you'll be sitting in the cabin, so it doesn't matter if there is a relief pilot or not. They don't factor in to the equation.

Hmmm... An Air Whisky pilot got bumped by me coming back from Sydney (4 pilots, 5 jumpseats, so 1 OMC) and I had to use a pass back from Seoul (4 pilots and 4 jumpseats). So, something isn't making sense here...

I guess for safety sake, are there any relief pilots IAD to BRU/AMS? I would appreciate the help.
