JFK-ANC Jumpseats?

Other than UPS and FedEx doing EWR-ANC, does anyone know who operates JFK-ANC with regularity (that are CASS approved)?

I checked the Polar site and didn't see anything to ANC.

I couldn't find flight schedules on the Atlas site...only a form to submit a request for a JS.

Atlas? Gemini? Kalitta? Evergreen?

TIA.

I don't know if that's what you're looking for but US Air and Alaska fly directly to ANC from EWR. I don't know if that helps but I hope so. Or are you only looking for cargo carriers?

Prefer cargo carriers simply because I don't want to deal with the terminal and they are more likely to fly non-stop.

I don't want to take the chance of getting bumped halfway through a direct flight, such as the USAirway's flight from EWR.

It is direct and not non stop. You're right. I double checked now. I just remembered something. Sorry if that doesn't help then. Just forget it then...

JFK-ANC FedEx jumpseat?

I don't "think" FedEx does JFK-ANC on a regular basis? They fly EWR-ANC almost every night though. I also think there is a ANC-JFK charter one day a week. You can also call FedEx Jumpseats and ask (assuming you are in the Cass w/picture system). Their # is 1-800-544-9040. Use option #2 for crewmember travel and identify yourself as a pilot from another airline. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I've got the link to the FedEx JS Finder page already. I'm just trying to figure out what options exist other than UPS and FedEx from EWR.

By the way...I checked and your are correct, FedEx does not fly non-stop JFK-ANC.
