VA jumpseat

[DB Cooper]

Does VA take non-cass riders in the back?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Yes. Some of our gate staff are unsure of this so try to get to the crew for your best chance. No listing in advance required.

 

[Tomct]

Yep, we take Cathay guys all the time...provided there is a seat in the back.

Cathay pilots are not approved jumpseaters.

Cathay does not have an agreement with VA, and there is no work on getting one (on Cathay's part).

That is true, but we take them and so do airlines like jetblue.

That should not prevent one professional pilot from giving another professional pilot a ride to or from work. It is professional courtesy that should be extended regardless of formal agreements or union politics. That is my policy.

Warm welcome to all.

Cathay is not a 121 carrier, however they may have agreements with some US carriers, I know Air Canada does.

No we don't.Cathay is not on our list.They don't ride period. We have other FAR 129 carriers like Air Canada, Air Jamaica and LIAT. Cathay is not on the list.

It doesn't at VA, they ride if there is a seat. Always.

Unless your FOM says otherwise.
