A FedEx truck driver with a commercial license made it on to the cockpit jumpseat and then was found out enroute. Per the agent and the captain, the Feds have manadated no OAL in cockpit until further notice. F/A jumpseats and cabin seats are available.

From another message board.
 
You can still ride in the cockpit if you are CASS aproved. So do not worry. You can still jumpseat on Jetblue. I do not commute but I know what a pain it is. Jumpseaters are always welcome!!
 
oops...I rode on NWA a little while ago, right after they gave the F/A's certificates. Long story short the CA, just the day before, had a Pinnacle FA ride in his jumpseat. He said they guy was in uniform, but didn't have stripes on. And during the flight it came up that he was a FA...that CA was pretty angry...but had a good laugh anyway.

Incorrect. Offline CASS riders are temporarily not authorized in the JB cockpit pending the TSA and FAA investigation which will most likely result in mandatory retraining. Offline pilots are welcome to non-rev in the cabin or on open cabin jumpseats.

It was bound to happen at some point and is a great kick in the seat of the pants for everyone to be more diligent before we lose this hard-fought privilege.

You are incorrect Captain. Go back and re read Hoskins email closely dude. Hope you don't bump some poor guy trying to go home because you can't get your facts straight. This is how rumors get started. The only people banned from our JS is JB management. It says so in the email you just need to be able to read.
 
How, exactly, did a non airline pilot clear CASS and be allowed into your cockpit?

Ah...who knows...we are all pretty torqued about it.

We have paper JS forms to fill out when one must ride the jumpseat. On it I believe is a box for "CASS verified" or something. I don't rememeber. We...the front crew, must go on the word from the agents on the CASS thing. But yes...it's then up to us to double check lic, medical..ect.

I'm not speculating or placing blame till we know exactly what happened. I know as much as you do.


What happened with FedEx and SWA? I saw that FedEx's ability to non-rev on SWA has been suspended for now.
 
Got it thanks. Ours is computerized and prints whether you are CASS approved. No agent can amend it.
