Just to clarify, you can "jumpseat" internationally on airlines with whom Republic has an agreement (US airlines), but you must have a seat in the back.
I jumpseated to Cancun on Southwest a couple of weeks ago, just paying the international taxes. It was not a ZED fare.

We bought real tickets on Air Lingus to Ireland. Then flew from Ireland to the USA to save some big dough. The tickets to Dublin were on sale for 29.00 pounds each.

It means several different things, which is where a lot of the confusion comes from. Most critically it is a series of agreements between airlines to mutually carry each other's pilots.
In the US CASS is the system by which credentials are verified and flight deck access is permitted.
There are a multitude of ways, however, that one can travel on a jumpseat agreement without physically occupying a jumpseat in the flight deck.
For example, if CASS cannot verify your status (perhaps the system is down or there is an issue with your documentation), you are still permitted cabin access with that jumpseat agreement.
This is useful because it means any Republic pilot can travel for free (paying only applicable international taxes) on any US airline with which we have a reciprocal agreement.
If flight deck access is not permitted (for example on an international flight), you can still travel on the agreement as long as there are seats in the back.
Hope this clarifies a little bit! And thanks for the upgrade shout out!

To all new FOs, if you are listed as a jumpseater (instead of a nonrev), even if you get a seat in the back, check in with the Captain and ASK for permission! Just because you got a seat in the back doesn’t mean you don’t have to check in!!

There were times when we had to leave a SWA guy behind international because the gate agent cant clear them in.

Depends on the airline. AA intl jumpseat is D6LJ priority, where number of riders accepted is equal to the number of physical jumpseats installed in the plane. So E175 can take 1 intl jumpseater even if there are tons of empty seats in the back. A320 can take 2, 737 1 and so on.
