Fedex in CASS?
 
Hi all,

I was under the impression that Fedex was not a member of the CASS systems, and that their pilots could not jumpseat with any other airline. am I wrong?

They're definitely in Cass. Here's the link from APC dealing with Cass:

Airlines without digital ID's will soon be out of CASS. I believe that FDX is on that list

I think I heard the digital photo cut-off is tomorrow, maybe. I tried to jumpseat on FedEx a few months ago and my company did not have the digital photo yet so they wouldn't let me. Based on that I'd guess FedEx does have it already in place.

We'll know tomorrow then I guess <G>. I jumped on Alaska a few months back and they didn't have an agreement with FDX because of the digital picture issue, so I got on in the cockpit while a FDX guy was left behind.

Kinda...
 
I believe the cutoff is Sept. 26th or 28th. The TSA mandated the picture thing. FedEx has the picture requirement, but does not reciprocate with airlines that do not. For example, Delta is in CASS and so is FedEx. Since FedEx cannot see the Delta pilot's picture, no ride. And it goes both ways, so no FedEx on the Delta jumpseat as of now. That should all be standardized here next month. Hope this helps more than confuses.

So maybe it was Alaska that had the picture problem and not FDX. I thought the passports were supposed to get around that for a while. Oh well

Fedex has had the picture requirement ever since we joined the CASS system.

All FedEx Crew IDs are going to be replaced as 22 September '06. I don't know if this has anything to do with CASS.

Yes, you are wrong! FedEx was one of the first in CASS, and one of the companies that tested the picture id database part of CASS, IIRC!

You mean for Cockpit access! I've jumpseated recently on DAL, we just can't ride up front!

Nope, you old id picture will show up in CASS until you get your new id, then that picture will show up in CASS! I got my new id about 2 weeks ago and have jumpseated and seen that picture come up!

Why can't FedEx see the pilots picture? A friend of mine(Delta pilot) and I jumpseated on my airline (SWA) and his picture came up on our computers and was approved for the cockpit. Is this a FedEx problem?

I think Delta was a recent addition to full CASS according to our ALPA message line.
