Pacific Wings charges its pilots for CASS
 

$20.00/month - I kid you not!

:eek:

Pac Wings doesnt have CASS.

Pacific Wings = New Mexico Airlines. NMA apparantly has CASS.

Terrible place

Is this true arizonast? Seeing as how you work at NMA.

(Oh how I hate Delta!)

and that's not the only thing wrong with this place.. FAR from it. (and i speak from personal experience.)

Another reason to get out as soon as possible.

I do not see Pacific Wings, nor New Mexico Air. Maybe you heard wrong

maybe not CASS but to my knowledge don't they have J/S privlages with some airlines?

When commutair first got it they were going to charge us. Amazingly, they relented and for some reason decided not too.

This is 100% factual information. PW is in the very final stage of joining CASS.

Hmmm well my word is straight from the bird. Have an acquaintence who works there and went into CASS. I can't discuss much further since others just got fired for forming a union and I don't want to put my friend in jeopardy.

Allow these folks on your jumpseats if you can, .... not that I have any control over that anyways but I think it's nice for a group of guys who get treated lower than the dirt we walk on.

CASS is coming to PW/NMA/GS

Most pilots there are good people just trying to do their job and get ready for the next step in their careers.

Nobody still in the pilot group from NMA or GS has done anything wrong to their fallen bretheren and should be left alone.

There are only a few bad apples from the HI operation. And jumpseat wars don't do anybody any good IMO.

If in doubt about someone asking for a ride, ask some questions and makeup your own mind.

Latest ARINC List 01/28/09:

This CASS Configuration Update is intended for all users of the ARINC Cockpit Access Security System (CASS) Service to inform you of changes in our configuration.

Flightworks (FWK), Mokulele Airlines (MW), Mountain Air Cargo, Pacific Wings (LW) are in development.

Air Logistics LLC (L9), Evergreen Helicopters (7E), Sierra West (P8) have completed test and are working on FAA and TSA approvals.

Frontier Flying Service (2F) has received approvals for operational use of CASS. Please contact Everret Leaf at (907 474-1739 x235 or [email protected]) for questions concerning reciprocal agreements.

Primaris (FE) has ceased operations and been removed from the CASS configuration.

Guys you can be dang sure I'd not have any qualms about allowing a guy up front with us. :)

Yay... we're no longer in the jump-seating special Olympics here at 2F.

AirTran charged, don't know if they still do, but the pilots said it's a luxury not a right. There were issues that someone who's paid for the seat should be allowed to have it which is BS when it's captains authority.

Mokulele airlines in Hawaii charges 20 a month for CASS and they still aren't even in it...
