Photo CASS

[mckpickle]

We are photo CASS at Chautauqua.

Which doesn't matter since any flights you operate for US air or other gates without windows based computers can't display them.

My take on it.

And the first time you will find out where photo CASS is and is not is when you jumpseat to EYW and find out that ATL had it but EYW doesn't. Since you told the gate person that you were CASS they tried to put you in but you get denied for no picture. No ride in the back either.

Chautaqua doesn't control the gates right. So if you jumpseat out of LGA for instance that is Piedmont territory and the gates don't have Photo's.

According to the latest TSA bulletin if you don't have the ability to display photo's your station doesn't have CASS on 23 Sept.

We are photo CASS at Chautauqua.

They could afford that for the same reason they could afford to bid the CAL contract.

Hold on.

Don't start flaming them yet. The problem isn't with CASS or the folks that are in it. It is with airline managments and the gates. Unless airline managment wants to replace all green screen monitors at the gates, then you don't have that capability. Many airlines have the ability to send pictures, although I think there are many less that can receive them.

Yep, even though XJET was cheaper.

Do you know that for a fact? What are your sources for the prices?

Was is not on one of GS's voicemails? If not there it was directly out of his mouth in recurrent. Maybe he lied.

Do you have facts to prove otherwise?

Thats only hearsay. George says what he's told to say. He's not in the first person in the decision process. Please provide something with some figures on it. This is like the CPA, I haven't known anybody to actually see or read it. Only selected verses are reported to have been seen. Its not a public document.

Other than the fact the Larry Kellner has a hard on for Expressjet, in this economy, do you think that CO will spend more for a small jet provider?

Anyone know anything about whats going to happen Sept 23rd when Photo CASS is required. I heards some airlines and/or airports are not ready?

Here's what came in an email from the jumpseat committee today.

CASS Picture IDs
As you may know, the TSA has issued a directive stating that all airlines must be
able to send and receive photos as part of the CASS system. This presents a major
problem because many airlines still use the old “green screens”. The CASS
picture ID system requires use of a Windows-based PC with networking capabilities.
ALPA and airline management through the RAA and ATA have petitioned the
TSA to extend the deadline. We also are asking the TSA to allow airlines that
can’t send digital pictures to remain in CASS. Unfortunately, if the TSA does not
issue an amendment, any airline that is not in compliance will be removed from
CASS.​
