Trans States and CASS

[nwa_contrails]

Is CASS in place for TSA yet?

 

[Mr Biggelsworth]

Nope. They have supposedly gotten to the last step in the process. The only thing is, is that the last step is the longest according to mgmt. and since the whole thing has been going on for more than a year and a half, well.........

 

[nwa_contrails]

Thanks!

 

[rjacobs]

Yea the last step is who is gonna pay for it. Hmm, nobody at trans states seems to be the going concensus.

 

[Foxcow]

I flew with one of our union guys and he says that management is using it as a bargaining chip.

go figure

Trans states is cheaper than anybody..... they dont have the money to spend and will try to get the pilots to get it.... dont fall for this guys.

CASS won't be here if MGT requires us to pay for it............

I think Mesa is just as bad if not worse. We had a Mesa Dash 8 CA jumpseat on us and during the flight, he was telling us how the FMS is not kept up to
date and that the APUs have been removed. Welcome to the stone age.

 

[Mr Biggelsworth]

Oh but wait, we were in OMA a couple of weeks ago and they wouldn't give us a bag of ice because King Mujibar, jerkoff, sh!thead, pi$$ant, dipwad, should be deported (sorry I'm rambling), himself would not pay for it. So the flight attendant gave the ramper a DOLLAR and they gave us a bag of ice. Unfreakinbelivable.

 

[Foxcow]

By the way, I found out that CASS would only cost us $600 per month.

 

[millhouse21]

When you consider that it probably cost them at least $5,000,000 to furlough those 50 guys you'd think they could afford $600 for CASS. Oh wait, I forgot. It's only OK to lose money on things that piss off the pilots.

 

[flydoc]

See, there you go again, Millhouse. Thinking it is all about you. It is much easier to spend money to make your life a living he11 so you will leave and then they can hire a first year payscale 190hr pt 141 commercial pilot to swing the gear. After all, the FAA said they "r a pylut" therefore I'm sure it's safe to let them pilot an airline. Plus they won't know any better when maint. comes in and gun-decks all the write-ups in the log-can. (it might be funny if it weren't so true...)

 

[millhouse21]

You know, you've really turned me around on this issue. I was completely wrong. Anyway, maintenance would never gun-deck the log can. Right? Right?I mean, surely they would NEVER pull the old pages out early just so the next pilot couldn't see how many times the flaps have been written up for the same discrepancy. Right?

 

[phishn@daves]

Hey Millhouse, I think you need to relax and get some......<ding> TRIM.

 

[millhouse21]

That's a fact! In fact it would really be nice to be getting a little bit of.....<ding> TRIM

 

[Foxcow]

Hey Millhouse, I think you need to relax and get some......<ding> TRIM.

I almost squirted my drink through my nose!

That's interesting. The same can be said about PHL (at least with United).
Good thing it's a short flight to IAD.

Update:

TSA now has CASS effective 4/9...bout freakin' time...

 

[urflyingme?!]

I heard something about TSA not allowing ANY jumpseaters out of ORD... Is this true?
