I think what he's getting at is a jumpseat pass. Not a 100% sure but after talking with a few Iberia pilots, they have a paragraph in their collective agreement about the ability to jumpseat as long as you show up in uniform and a valid ID. Cpt's discretion of course, and since they are virtually the only ones to do this at this time...(we are trying to push something like this through the Skyteam alliance) then one can't blame them for turning down foreigners. It's a case of 'you no scratch me, then yuck foo too'.
Personally love the Spanish system, muy bien!Join Date: Jun 2001

If you manage to get to the gate or under the ironbird on the tarmac you stand a good chance of a JS ride (ID required) and if your company is on the reciprocity list of the airline you are trying to JS on then you just get a boarding pass and a regular seat.

Whatever happens,.. happens!

I hear you and it will probably be difficult to turn it around once the company has gotten authority over the jumpseat away from the Pilots. Nevertheless, you (collectively) ought to try and get it back! not only does it facilitate your own travel needs, being able to extend the privilege to a colleague who might recipricate when you're stuck somewhere, is a benefit that doesn't cost the company anything but carries a lot of value for the crewmember.
I give jumpseats to anyone that qualifies, except to those that do not recipricate and claim that the company does not allow it. I have been stuck and turned down by quite a few of my fellow airline pilots in many places, some of these folks look at you as if you are asking them for their first born.
Here goes the saying: Do onto others as you would have them do onto you!
