Strange. I don't believe it's simply a SKW thing. Fairly certain this is the norm regarding offline jump-seating internationally in most cases. .

Quit trolling. International Jumpseat in the actual has not been allowed at any carrier in the last 10 years (since I've been in). If express jet is allowing you in the actual, which highly doubt they are, then someone could be in real trouble.

I've heard it's been approved by the TSA/FAA, but haven't heard of any carriers practicing this. Maybe you were in the extra FA Jumpseat by the crapper. Skywest doesn't have those.

I fully understand that the JS is entirely at captains discretion but I have never been arbitrarily denied it's use. Over the years I have carried hundreds of jumpseaters and have never denied anybody. I understand that there may be an operational reason why I couldn't be accommodated but, if so, I wasn't informed of the reason.

I'm a mainline UAL captain and would hate to have to start denying Skywest pilots the use of my jumpseat.

Thoughts?

JS riding internationally is not allowed

As a UAL mainline Captain, you'd think he/she would know this.

WEll that is all I need to read right there.

For the rest reading.
-The international Jumpseat is not allowed at skyw (reciprocally)
- GDL is remote boarding. They bus people to the airplane. The captain would have to delay the flight to get back to the airport some how.

Former SkyW guy here - even company pilots can't occupy actual for international legs so no need to get all excited. Probably a good idea to ask the question without the threat of denying jumpseats.
