Narrative:
A flight dispatcher from a foreign airline requested jump seat from lga to atl. I checked his dispatcher license, but didn't realize that foreign carrier pilots/dispatchers are not allowed to jump seat on united states airlines by far. He flew with us to atl. We later discovered the mistake.
