My company is not CASS and since we're cargo only, we have no reciprocal agreements with anyone. I called SWA's non-rev line and explained my situation and I was listed. I'm going to shave my goatee Saturday morning before my flight. Am I going to be asking myself, "Did I shave my beard for this"? I have all of the same credentials to present to the gate agent, Captain, etc and I will be in a proper uniform with only a small gym bag to stow. From what I've read on other sites, SWA is one of the only airlines who lend a hand to employees of lesser operators. If I can't go, I can't go. I just don't want to end up in a situation where I get home, or halfway home and end up walking back to work. Google Maps says the walk would take like 10. something days. I know without CASS I have to ride in coach, and that is fine. Just tell me I'm not wasting my weekend as well as my family's hopes that I'll get to come home for a long weekend!
