Mr/Mrs. Trinkle? I laughed for a good 10 seconds. Just playing. Yeah, he's the js guru, anything you need to know and he can fill you in.

And Homer you have way too much time on your hands if you're doing that kind of research. We need to find you more work to do, then you can quit eating my doritos.

2: The airline you want to jumpseat on must allow Dispatchers to jumpseat. Not sure who all don't, but one is Northwest.
3: Now that CASS is up and running, your company has to be in CASS - and include Dispatchers in the CASS database to jumpseat on some other companies. Alaska and Horizon for example: your name has to come up in CASS authorized to jumpseat, even for a seat in the back.

i've jumpseated on northwest a number of times. other dispatchers that i work with have jumpseated on alaska and we're not in cass.

It's been a long time since, but I've seen the actual paperwork for the recip agreement between NW and OO, and NW's paper said "NO DISPATCHERS". Maybe it's been changed since. It's been maybe 3 years since I saw it. I'll have to go dig it up again.

Can anyone from NW verify with a FOM reference or specific reference allowing Dispatchers?

And for Alaska, I know one of our dispatchers was denied jumpseat (seat in the back). I called a buddy at Horizon (uses same software for verification) and the only thing we could determine for why he was denied is he hadn't turned in his passport info yet to OO - so he wasn't in the the CASS database - i.e. Denied. Might be a hiccup in the software, but frustrating none the less.

NW - I jumpseated on 3 out of 4 legs....last leg they made me buy a full fare ticket.....my airline at the time -5Y- reimbursed me because the DO/chief pilot had not sent back a signed recip agreement.....

I have tried to go on NW since.....

Careful....I could cut you off from the food delivery system.... Back to Carls Jr for you!
 
I thought you were doing that to us around October anyways. So, back to jumpseating on other companies' aircraft....Remember to bribe not only the pilots but the nasty looking gate agents with chocolate. It's your only hope!
 
I'm looking at our Jumpseat Agreements list and it says:

NORTHWEST AIRLINES *NO DISPATCHERS*
UPS *NO DISPATCHERS*
US AIR *NO DISPATCHERS*

Red = CASS

Now, this is not the actual signed agreement paperwork I'm looking at, and I'm sure some gate agents and/or pilots will not specifically check. I'm just going by what the list says.

Anyone from Northwest, US Air, or UPS want to comment????
Anyone? Anyone?
 
This just supports what I have been saying, the dispatchers are slowly being eliminated from flight prevledges, seems one airline at a time...The pilots agreements are so absorbed in there own fights to J/S that the Dxers are being left out...

What Pitty....As for me, well I do work for CO...as homer so nicely had to point out...sure you dont work part time for the TSA Homer? How is ASA these days? , Anyway my problem is the very full loads into and out of MCO or TPA the only way I can have any stability and guaranty a saet is to buy regular tickets in advance....Standyby just does not work in these city pairs....

what you are referencing applies to your airline. the agreements are different from airline to airline. i have jumpseated on NW within the last six months. i know 9e dispatchers who have jumpseated within the last week on NW.

your airline has not included DX in the CASS system. But you written agreement should have included DX's

Sorry, guess again. I've used CASS on Horizon and Southwest. I, and many other dispatchers are in the CASS database because we turned in the required information. Others, who did not have a passport (or expired) have not been entered into the CASS database.

I was just saying, that a few years ago when I was going through all the recip agreement paperwork, NW's paper said NO DISPATCHERS. Not SkyWest's. And while I don't have the actual agreement paperwork with me, I look up our j/s list and it says NO DISPATCHERS.

Maybe they just had a problem with SkyWest's Dispatchers. I don't know.

Whats wrong RVSM, Did the boat sink?


Ummm I dont work for ASA....So I couldnt tell you....

Why did you say your airline doesnt fly to MCO? Im sure CO does fly into MCO. Oh well, you would know that better than me.

I hate inconsistent statements. If peoople want a truthful answer, they should be truthful in their questions?

Good day!
 
Homer, you Ran off RVSM.....I believe he is doing just fine in his marine business...Of course CO flys to MCO...but I dont intend to post all the reasons for my earlier statement as my situation places me outside of the normal CO route structure.....getting into MCO as an OAL with the high loads is the basic problem I was referring to...

You can take statements and make them look anyway you want, implying one thing meaning another whatever...you really missed your calling as a super detective....you have a good day as well and say high to Scott.....
 
Homer IS a super detective... I have personally seen the inspector gaget trenchcoat that he keeps in a telephone booth... just in case...
