CASS/Jumpseat

[Jonahproject]

I was told that jumpseaters are now required to be members of CASS or they are no longer allowed to jumpseat either flightdeck or cabin as of Nov. 2006 regardless of reciprocatig agreement. Anyone else heard this. I haven't tried jumpseating this month and was curious if any non CASS participating crewmembers have been able to jumpseat successfully?

I haven't heard that - even though many are CASS, plenty more aren't. I would imagine there would be a bigger stink raised if this was the case. Also, there would of been several months notice too.

At the moment Continental can't accept CASS jumpseaters in the cockpit, but apparently that is a technical problem with viewing pictures on some of their gate computers. They are still letting people jumpseat in the cabin.

Hope your right, just something I saw on fr8ghtdog. Got plans to JS later in the month. Already checking expedia just in case.

I would think that you'd need more than one Continental supervisor saying something is true to believe it. If this were true, the airline world would be up in arms.

As far as I understand Jon you are incorrect as it being industry wide. However, each airline does have their own rules.

Ya it appears to have been some misinformation. Thanks for the input though.
