BRA said:I am with colgan and express jet left me at the gate the other day. Said my company needs to be CASS. Watched the airplane push out. Never got to speak to the captain, only the gate agent. It was getting close to push time and I didn't want to delay anything. So according to my experience this thread has some truth, unless the gate agent was misinformed?

LJDRVR said:Dear God,
PLEASE tell me you are not in command. If you took the time to read this thread, you'd see one instance in which a gate agent improperly denied boarding to a pilot. It so happens the airlines jumpseat coordinator frequents this board and offered to investigate. Now if the rest of us mature, intelligent adults were to follow your thirteen year-old, emotional, knee-jerk reaction, we would deny the next Express Jet pilot who attempted to ride. "nasty jump seat war"?! Are you for real?
Here's the deal: This premise behind this thread is a stupid, unsubstantied rumor. The lazy pilot who started it should have called or e-mailed his or her JS coordinator for the truth instead of posting flame-bait. You are an idiot for taking the flame bait, and so am I for taking you task. Threatening some sort of jumpseat war is immature, unprofessional, inapropriate and misinformed.
My advice to you is to contact your airline's pro standards folks and share with them your vision of petty, misplaced retribution. Maybe they'll straighten you out.

He responded to my question:
WILL THE PILOTS OF NON-CASS CARRIERS STILL BE ALLOWED TO BE CABIN RIDERS FOR JUMPSEAT PURPOSES?
His response was, if a CASS company denies a NON-CASS company pilot a cabin jumpseat the NON-CASS pilots will respond in kind by denying rides to pilots of said carrier.
I still haven't had my question answered.
WILL NON-CASS PILOTS STILL BE ALLOWED CABIN RIDER PRIVILEGES?
I.E. if a pilot from a non-CASS carrier tries to ride on SWA (who will be a CASS participant) will he be denied a seat in the back?
