Did my last of seven long trips to Altus while on Mil from FDX. You are removed from CASS and cannot jumpseat on other carriers. It doesn't have to be like that, as jumseating on other airlines is available to other carriers. My ACP said it was a problem with the program that puts you on mil leave is tied to the program for CASS. It would probably be one line of code to fix, but the company won't do it. I would be curious to know what the ALPA guy has to say. PM me if it was divergent.

I ended up driving to DFW and jumpseating. You can park there as well. Or find some friends from some of the other ailines and beg for some passes. Last time I was in Altus, there were still a few airlines not using CASS and you could still get on. I don't think there are any anymore.

Good Luck, let me know what you find out. TB
