Default FDX Cass Outage

Per the FCIF, has anyone had the gate agent call Jumpseat or the Duty Officer to verify cockpit eligibility?

I'm skeptical that would fly.

Depends on the airline. USair has done it in the past. During a recent CASS outage, Delta did not let me occupy a cockpit jumpseat. Good luck.

I'm skeptical too. Hope it doesn't cause someone to miss a flight.

I just had Alaska in ANC tell me that they would not call in order for me to ride in the cockpit I had to be checked out in CASS. You can still ride in the back but they are over sold for the next two day.

That sucks.
But if I was in their shoes I wouldn't trust whoever was on the other end of the phone either. It's silly the BM would even suggest it. I seriously doubt FedEx Jumpseat admin would let a pilot of another airline Jumpseat without being verified in CASS. No matter who they talked to on the phone.
Good luck!

I agree that was why I was laughing with them over it. Plus they have enough to do with an over sold flight to call some number that I give them.

Well.....even though I felt stupid I just mentioned calling to verify for CASS to the gate agent. The look she gave me told me I was correct for feeling stupid.

For anyone else interested, I just called jumpseat and she said from 8pm Saturday night until 8am Sunday morning. Just an hour and a half left hopefully.
