Welcome to UPS Flightdeck...all cass members

[Dav8tor]

Representatives of IPA and UPS meeting today reached agreement
expanding UPS participation in the CASS program that provides
off line jumpseats to other carriers. The Company agreed that
all current carriers that meet the eligibility criteria of CASS
will be added. The agreement creates a contractual obligation
that UPS will not unreasonably withhold agreement to adding additional
carriers to CASS as they become eligible. The CASS agreement
is designed to ensure that IPA jumpseating privileges on other
carriers are maintained.

Does this open up the jumpseat to anyone in CASS, or does it require CASS and a reciprocal agreement?

This is what I'm wondering. I've got a good friend that is a Capt. for UPS. I asked him if I could ever catch a ride since we are a member of CASS and he said it should not be a problem. Just like they told us before, you can try to j/s with someone other then SWA but it is the Capt.'s discretion.

From the PA-31 in your profile I'm guessing you're Amflight? From what I understand UPS pilots can ride on AMF on UPS runs so there is some form of reciprocity. It would be nice to be able to officially j/s on UPS. One can only hope.

 

[Tryful]

yeah i am amflight pilot. From what I know though the only reciprocal agreement we have is with SWA. But that could be a possibility I'll have to ask some of the higher ups at my company if this is true or not.

The UPS folks felt guilty that they couldn't offer Jump seats and always brought "treats" I guess no more cookies on our MSP-SDF flights. From a hungry Airlinker, this is sad news.

Just domestic, no hard doors in the cockpit so can't take any Int'l J/S.
