identification, along with FAA Pilot and Medical Certificates. If circumstances are
such that CASS verification from a gate terminal or dispatch can not be verified,
cabin seating will be the only option for the "Off Line Pilot."
Specific procedures for domestic and international flights are provided below:
o Domestic Flights:OAL pilots contact Dispatch via telephone at 866-227-
9438 (Option 1) prior to departure. Advise the departure city and arrival.

operating the flightThe Agent/Dispatcher will enter the pilot into the
system and a CASS authorization will be obtained for cockpit jumpseat
access. If the cabin is not full, a seat assignment may be provided. Non-CASS
participants will only receive a cabin seat assignment, if available. Dispatcher
will advise aircraft location on the airport. Due to the mixed nature of flying
Swift Air does, this may be located at a Terminal Gate or GA FBO Ramp.
Check in at aircraft location (Gate or FBO) should occur at least one (1) hour
prior to departure if possible. Captain will verify credentials at the aircraft.
o International Flights:The same process above applies to International as
well. Additional TSA time constraints also apply as listed below.When
departing the U.S., a jumpseat request may be made by contacting Dispatch
via telephone at 866-227-9438 (Option 1) (taxes/fees collected at that time
by the dispatcher); All international jumpseat requests and processing must
occur no later than 75 minutes prior to scheduled departure time per the
TSA, but it is advise able to do so at least two (2) hours in advance, or more if
possible. It is advised to schedule the jumpseat return to the US at the same
time as the outbound jumpseat. OAL pilots, regardless of CASS status, will
only receive a cabin seat assignment on international flights, until TSA and
FAA regulations permit cockpit access Internationally. Dispatch will advise
where and when to meet the Captain. Again, this may be at a Terminal Gate
or a GA FBO Ramp. General location varies from country to country. The
verification process will be the same as Domestic flights. Jumpseater must be
at the aircraft no later than one hour prior to departure time, unless advised
by Dispatch or the Captain. Any additional details may be obtained from the
dispatcher when the OAL pilot calls to list.
Trans States Airlines
