Hey guys, so I was in the Feb 04, 2008 class at PSA and am out waiting on sims, I have my ID and tried to jumpseat on Southwest this morning and didn't show up on CASS. Is there anyway to find out when I'm entered into the system or if the agent (who was very nice) possibly entered something wrong for PSA jumpseat? Thanks!
 
we had to call someone in our flight ops to enter is into the system. It took about a day. You should start looking inside your own company.
 
Try having the agent enter in your info like this...

Employee # = (Emp#)(Your Airline Code)
Airline Code = US

Thats how we at the piedmonster have to do it. I think its a "wholy owned" thing.
Also, how long have you been in training? It usually takes a few months for CASS to start working.

Yea, it's only been a little over a month. The southwest gate agent entered it like that and it didn't go through. I've been trying to get ahold of anyone at PSA but no one is answering any phones there.
 
Are you CASS approved yet? Some companies won't approve their pilots until you finish their checkride.

You beat me to posting this same question. I have had the same problems on Frontier and United. If they use the codes JS or U6, we only have access to the cabin and not the cockpit jumpseat. Obviously this is only a problem if the cabin is full and the jumpseat is available. I tried to call PSA's travel department about this but they were not sure either.

The airline code is "US". Problem is some people just take the ID and put in the number on the front of the PSA ID and thats incorrect. It's the employee ID number on the back top left corner plus JS on the end. I tried calling the company to figure out if I'm in the system yet but no one is answering.
 
Call the main 800 number and ask if anybody is around in operations that can check your CASS information. They are normally only there during business hours.

Also, if you are near a gate computer with SHARES, CTRL-Z, F4 option 1 will allow you to run it yourself.

Can you PM me the number Ethan? I called a few 800 numbers this morning and no one knew what I was trying to check.
 
I know for Republic they don't send in the CASS paperwork till after we finish our checkride. That means it take another week or so after that so for a lot of people it's during or even after IOE. But that's how Republic does it...
 
Be sure the agent is entering the amount of fill in zero's needed too. With my employee # when i try to J/S the agents sometimes just put in my actual emp. # - and leave out the filler 0's before the # -even though our ID card does show these 0's. Usually when they figure out that the 0's have to be there-it works.
 
Also, you probably don't have this problem, but I do. Gate agents keep trying to enter me as a flight attendant instead of a pilot. Make sure they know what your position is.

FAs aren't in CASS. There's no option for it.

Delta (and maybe others) has to check the box that you are a pilot on their internal system, but as far as CASS requests go it's not an issue.
 
When I jumpseat, no gate agent will ever get it to pull up the first time. What I've done was created a cheat sheet for them to entire the info in properly. You can't blame them for not knowing because the way they're supposed to look us up in CASS is really wierd:

For Piedmont it's this:

Airline Code: US
Employee #: 123456EN

Your badge will say "EN123456" and it's confusing that you have to put the EN after the numbers in CASS.

So for PSA I'm assuming Airline Code is US and Employee # should be entered in as 123456PS.

My CASS data was already entered in and verified 4 weeks into my training... before I passed the checkride. It's probably in there already.
 
Not that it much matters but the "badge number" on the front of the US Airways IDs is not your employee number. It's a randomly generated number so -east and -west guys won't know who is who. Your actual employee number is on the back (with no 2 letter identifier attached). The CASS system is supposed to work off the badge number, but for me it only works with my employee number.

Also, PSA is JS not PS.
 
Yea, I'm going to try again on Monday, this time for a PSA flight instead of southwest or republic. We'll see how it goes but some were saying it took them longer to get put into CASS here at PSA.
 
On day one at my ground school they issued us plain white ID cards (non-CASS), but when our background checks came in (about 3 weeks or so into groundschool), they issued us a new ID that says "CREW" on it. We were told once we had those IDs we were in CASS.

Ah yes, the mighty crew badge. I head the same thing however, when they gave it to me I was more excited about getting the free (yet lousy) Internet access at the Dayton Airport hotel!:nana2:
 
Oh come on, that hotel in Dayton was the best of the best.:sarcasm: Just make sure you bring a stomach pump if you eat at the food joint there.
