That's funny, I got up front on a CAL 737 with my CASS, and I do Airways flying. The gate agent asked me for my passport at checkin, and verified me with my CASS photo.

Probably because that gate had one of the new monitors. Up until recently, the screens at most gates could not display images so there was no way to pull up your CASS picture so if you were offline, you had to sit in the back.

Is it true that RAH tends to hire more 121/135 pilots versus CFI's?

Any pilot who flys for a CASS airline can get a seat in the back on CAL, assuming there's an open seat back there.

I think BoilerUp was refering to Flight Benefits as opposed to CASS access. As a CAL ramper, I had Flight bennies for myself, spouse(or companion), parents, and dependents @$10 each way domesticly. As a PSA pilot I have the same bennies on the US network gratis.

RAH pilots get flight bennies based on which airline they provide lift for, and only the carrier they provide lift for.
wrong. as long as you are in cass, you can sit up front. Just did it last month

If you are a CFI only, you will prob be put with CHQ. It seems as though the 135 peops get s5 or rep

Not at the moment at CAL, you can't.

Per our JSC, CAL's CASS system is having problems and non-CAL employees cannot occupy the cockpit jumpseat on CAL or Expressjet.

You are right last month you could fly in the cockpit on CAL or XJT flights, but starting Nov you can not ride in the cockpit anymore. CAL's computer system will not allow you to bring up a picture of the pilot per TSA new rules.

Hopefully they will have this fixed this month so any CASS airline can ride up front.

Not true. There is no rhyme or reason as to who gets put where. I had to turn down a Republic class date because I lacked the required cross country time so I got placed at CHQ (I was "a CFI only"). Meanwhile, I was in class where about 50% were prior 121 but still got CHQ with no offer of the 170. The decision on what company you go to is entirely based on company need. Right now, a lot of it is going to CHQ.
