Jumpseating

Does anyone know if 'jumpseating' is still a employee fringe benefit with
FedEx, UPS, etc? Or did the FedEx 705 & 9-11 incidents ruin it all?

If your an Intern for most airlines you get these benefits... So i assume
they are still active..

Ordinary interns get to "jumpseat" on the flight deck, rather than just
grab a space-a spot in the cabin?

I don't know about Fed-Ex (they may have a special dispensation but I doubt
it), but if you aren't a pilot, or a dispatcher assigned for training, for
that airline, you ride in the back. Fed-Ex's smaller planes don't have seats
in the back. Most passenger airlines extend a professional courtesy to
freight pilots by allowing them to ride in the cabin even though they aren't
allowed to return the favor. Hopefully, with the new TSA programs being
tested, the cockpit will once again be opened to all of our brethren.

Capt,

Do you know if foreign airline crews are allowed to jumpseat in the US? My
Aeroflot buddies get stuck in NY or DC for days sometimes, and I'd rather
have them come down here to hangout in Miami.

Just got a VIP pass for some business aviation show at Signature@MIA on the
15th, too bad I have to work, they promise everything from Embraer Legacy to
that Piaggio Avanti curious thingie.
