FedEx jumpseat?

jknight8907 · July 3rd, 2005, 12:05

Does FedEx have jumpseat privleges with 'normal' airlines? I ask because last night on a DAL flight from ATL to MEM, there were two FedEx pilots in the cabin, one in uniform. Or were they just normal (i.e., paying) passengers?

thanks!

I have heard they are CASS now, and you can jumpseat. But I dont know for sure. I havent done it.

They have jumpseat priviledges, but like Blee said, I think you have to be part of CASS.

But pre-9/11, you could sign up and ride the FDX jumpseat without a problem.

Fedex pilots can jumpseat on other airlines even without CASS.

I guess I should have been clearer.

Anybody care to explain what CASS is?
