AA international jumpseat

I have searched the forum, but did not find exactly what I was looking for. Trying to go from MIA-UIO. Can a Fedex pilot ride in the cockpit on an international jumpseat (5 hour flight) on American Airlines. My pocket guide says worldwide is available on AA. The alpa jumpseat guide says it is limited to the number of jumpseats on the plane. I have already listed on the 888-WE-FLYAA, and the agent said all the flights are oversold, but you can jumpseat. Does that mean I can ride in the cockpit or not? What about Continetal or Delta? Anyone? Thanks for your help!

You cannot ride in the cockpit internationally on any airline except your own. This is a TSA regulation.

OR, if an airline complies with certain TSA restrictions. IE; the ACMI's and NOBODY else.

Delta goes from ATL-UIO. Can't catch a ride in the flightdeck with them either, but the cabin might have some openings, since AA doesn't.
