FA jumpseat on a freighter

[CesnaCaptn]

I have a FA friend who is trying to get to London in the fall. I vaguely remember there being a 747 operator who would let flight attendants jumpseat. I think it was either Polar or Atlas. I haven't heard of the program since 9/11, so maybe it went away. Does anyone have any insight on this?

If they are not in CASS they will not get on Polar or Atlas

Yes, Atlas etc used to let FAs jumpseat on freighters. It was a great deal for those who took the time to understand the system and how to use it. Free food, whole upper deck to themselves, bunks, lots of room for stuff bought along the way. No airport hassles or getting bumped.

Alas, however, that program was killed by the Islamofacists in the middle east.

Evergreen used to take FA's also but no more...

If they are CAS we will. Just had a Delta pilot on an Evergreen flight and Delta is CAS.

The F/A's need to check and see if they are CAS. If yes then welcome aboard!

NO aisle donkeys or mx people are in CASS. Just pilots and dispatchers.

Pilots Yes...FA's are not CASS so they can not ride. It was fun when we carried the FA's around.
