Umm...a wedding, of course. Cuz we're all gonna need sugga mommas to survive the first year FO pay!!!

 

Exactly! btw, any update on CASS? It would be nice to have some jumpseats set up that I could use.

 

Looks like more aircraft for Compass? Or just finanacing for the 36 already bought?

Nope that's just the financing for the 2008 deliveries that were already scheduled.

LNtFL, CASS is operational right now. A few airlines require "beta testing" before they'll flip the switch in their system, but I don't think any of them are on our list. Different airlines have different setups, some should accept us as CASS automatically but some will require "flipping the switch." At Horizon, for example, CASS was accessed through the JACS system on all gate computers, and when new airlines became CASS it required modifying the JACS database. The only real way to know is to get out there and use it. If you come up as CASS-denied on anybody's system, you'd normally have our jumpseat coordinator handle it but we don't really have one yet because the ALPA subcommittees haven't been set up. I'd suggest forwarding the info to Jeff as he's kind've acting as JSC in addition to his many other duties. Otherwise, I have most airlines JSCs' contact info from my time as Horizon's JSC and could make inquiries until our jumpseat committee gets set up.

Edit: I should clarify that all of the above about CASS applies to airlines we have reciprocal agreements with. If no recip exists, CASS doesn't help you out at all. Check your company email for Jeff's last chief pilot update which included the most recent recip agreement list.

 

Yeah I was referring to recip agreements, since without those CASS is useless to us. But whatever. Seems to get taken care of at the same pace as everything else around here. Thanks for the info. though, at least now I know how the system works. Maybe next Friday... lol

 

Hey y'all. Anyone know who makes those little plastic models of the plane that they have in corporate and the training center? Cheesy, I know - but I'd like one.

 

so life dude do I have this right... you are at Compass right now.... and just got the call from CAL?.....wow...good on you if thats the case.

 

I don't think the problem is really on Compass' end; I suspect they've been proactive about putting out jumpseat requests, as I received one about two months ago while still Horizon's JSC. I wasn't able to do anything with it because QX management was playing games with us over new jumpseat agreements, but that's another story. Basically I think Compass mailed out reciprocal agreements to everybody and the new ones will get added as those airlines' jumpseat coordinators have time to get things signed and sent back.
