Non-rev rules for inter-country flights

Hey. So I'm going on a 2 week vacation to Australia in a few days and I'm trying to figure out how to spend a few days at the end of the trip (interested in flying to Melbourne).

United flys from Sydney to Melbourne (747), and because of non-sabatoge rules, you can't buy a ticket on this leg. Because most of the passengers coming from the US get off in Sydney, the trip is always wide open (including first and business class). Do you think I can non-rev on this leg (since I'm technically not buying a ticket)? How do those rules work?
 
I could list myself right now for SYD-MEL on UA if I wanted to. I don't see why they wouldn't let me on, haven't read anything that says you can't do it.

Hey Chasen. You're a ticket agent, correct? I know I can list myself SYD-MEL, and it even gives appropriate fares for the leg (non-rev first/business class, and companion fares). I just don't want to plan 3 days in Melbourne, book a hotel, show up to the airport, and not be allowed on the flight. Or even worse, somehow get UAL in trouble after the fact...

Is there anyone you know who you could ask? It would really help me out to know the answer, I just have no idea who to ask (that is why I came to JC :) )
 
XE had a jumpseat agreement with Eva Air for their EWR-SEA leg of their flight that continued to Taipei. Unfortunately for the SEA commuters, they now route through ANC, but I think we still have the jumpseat agreement for that leg. We did as of the update from our jumpseat committee two years ago when they ended the EWR-SEA flight.
