That's great. I like jump seating on Alaska, friendly crews good food maybe even a digiplayer but they have taken.some of the Captains authority. If CASS is down can you take an OAL guy in the back? I can. On a mx repo ferry flight can you take guys? We can.

A mx repo ferry? Are you calling that one type of flight or did you forget the commas? Because a mx, ferry and repo are all different. And if you've allow non required crew on a mx flight (like a test flight before the plane returns to service) the FAA would probably like to chat with you.

Don't have an answer about CASS being down. I think I recall something about phone calls. As for MX flights, only required crew. I took my son in a repo once. We filed pt. 91 and called it a corporate aircraft. I suppose a Jumpseater could ride if they happened to be around and knew about it.

I agree with the first sentence. They have, no question. As far as CASS goes, all you need is a reciprocal agreement between your company and Alaska. If it exists, it will be on the CSA's screen. They will list you as a non-rev and give you a seat in the back if one is available. You will be the lowest priority of all the non-revs, but what the heck? A seat is a seat.

CASS is only required for the cockpit jumpseat.

It was what I call a mx repo. Airplane broke in outstation. Flight canceled, plane was fixed and then we repoed back with about 10 crew members going to work.

Thanks for Alaska info. I have been denied by the CSA when jacs was down with open seats in back.

Then that's a straight repo if the plane was fixed. A mx ferry requires a ferry permit and may or may not allow non required crewmembers depending on what's broken.

At Alaska? Or Horizon? If so, that should be just a rogue CSA.

TOTD...the fellow non-rev probably fa (but could've been a female pilot) who smacked me in the head with her backpack which was loaded down with neck pillow, shawl and other crap attached to it while taking her seat near me. I thought she was a regular pax until I saw her lanyard. Was shocked she had the poor taste to wear a tank-top, jeans AND flip-flops when asking for a ride on jetBlue. Won't say what airline she worked for, but I'm surprised she wasn't denied. Guess jetBlue isn't very picky about dress code, but not the correct way to show up anyway.

Our pass rider guide requires business casual only for jumpseats.
I have seen cabin non revs in shorts.

I'm old school and think it's disrespectful and unprofessional, especially when you guys/gals treat us so wonderfully. Thank you!
