Is MESA CASS?

[MD80DRVR]

Just wondering if MESA is CASS approved? Also, is the CRJ900 usually weight limited? Thanks

The short answer is yes and no, depends on whose CASS system you're using. If you can bring us the print out, you're golden.

The CRJ-900 only takes a weight hit when it's carrying 13Klbs of fuel or more. That's typically PHX-MEM, PHX-DSM, OMA-PHX or any time we're going somewhere over 120 minutes flying time with a distant alternate.

Anything east coast, other than CLT-MSP, it would be extremely rare to take a weight hit.

Hope that helps. BMM

The MESA Jumpseat Coordinator (to other jumpseat coordinators) sent out a retraction last week saying MESA was not in CASS. So.....short answer, no, long answer, ......no.

It is a complicated process that does take some time! Good luck guys.

Here's how it works at mesa:

IF YOUR AIRLINE HAS CASS . . . you can ride on us, because we can check your idenity at the gate via CASS, and our manuals have been updated to allow CASS participants to ride.

Mesa pilots, however, are not showing up in CASS . . . yet. Soon, though . . . real soon . . . .
