Was working a MSP -MDW flight on Saturday the 19th. All the flights that morning were full due to the spring break travelers and all the snow from the day before. A jetBlue pilot requested and was given a ride on my flight to MDW. ATA was finally given the o.k. to use the CASS system earlier in the month, so it was nice to let an offline jumpseater sit in the cockpit jumpseat.
After talking with him, he informs us that we was just denied the jumpseat on a NWA flight to LGA. CA told him "NO" and didn't give him a reason. To the jumpseater's credit, he walked away without saying anything. Well, what can you say? But sure sounds to me that someone was using the jumpseat, once again, as a political tool. Give it a rest.
I do believe that NWA is in the CASS system. The plane pushed back with no one in the jumpseat. Most of these pilots that are giving others a hard time jumpseating probably don't commute themselves.
