Talking 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.

Default 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!
