i know that the rules for European carriers are alot more relaxed then in the United States, does anyone know if any of the European carriers allow American crew members to jumpseat in an open cabin seat for intra-european travel?

For what it's worth, I was allowed to fly on the JS on Alitalia a few years back... I had purchased an ID90 and couldn't get on, so the agent offered me the JS instead. I got to keep my ID90, so it was a freebie.
A friend of mine successfully did the same on Finnair a while back. Mind you, that was before 9/11 - not sure how that would work out these days...
Best of luck!
Yes.
Unless the senior FA is in a bad mood.
On KLM currently only our own company crewmembers who don't live in Holland (tax reasons) are allowed to jumpseat in the way that they do it over in the States. We are allowed to offer crew seats, however, to non-revving pax who have a ticket on full flights.
I believe the Europeans are a bit more liberal in regards to who may travel in the jumpseat (e.g., other airline employees) but they generally require that the individual have a ticket, while in the US, we allow (with bialteral agreement) only cockpit/cabin crew to "jumpseat" in open cabin seats without a ticket.
