The loads look horrible on every airline going everywhere. Do you guys usually have alot of CASS jumpseaters going to SEA? I'm trying to get to DEN for the holidays. Thanks in advance.

GOOD LUCK getting out of ANC on holidays, weekends, etc! It's always a mass exodus out of there...even tougher getting back!!

CASS will help but it WILL be ugly....TRUST me!

Make sure the gate agents remember to enter you with your carrier's two letter code. I tried to jumpseat and the agent entered AS instead of my employers code and I was obviously denied.

When I pointed out her error, I was told that was how she was trained to enter CASS requests. The captain backed her up and I was denied boarding.

Fortunately the next agent was more savvy and I got one of the two cockpit jumpseats.

What's worse is when the gate agents assume because you are female that you are a flight attendant and assigns you an FA jumpseat and it causes a rift with the lead FA! :angryfire

(I'm quite sure you won't have THAT problem! )
