I agree with the first sentence. They have, no question. As far as CASS goes, all you need is a reciprocal agreement between your company and Alaska. If it exists, it will be on the CSA's screen. They will list you as a non-rev and give you a seat in the back if one is available. You will be the lowest priority of all the non-revs, but what the heck? A seat is a seat.
CASS is only required for the cockpit jumpseat.
