ID pax stuck in the states...

[Cloud surfer]

Has anyone picked up any signals in the direction of restrictions being placed on jump-seat policies with Scandinavian carriers - especially SAS? (Personally I don't see what could be gained by restricting such access in light of the determination shown by these assasins / terrorists.)

Problem is I'm stuck in the States holding ID tickets - and scheduled to fly in Norway on Tuesday. (Although in the whole run of things, my problem is trivial.) Back-logs of passengers must be in the thousands with SAS alone - and I would image most/many of these are europeans returning from vacation - hence low no-show rates. Any others in similar situations?

I guess you are what americans refer to as "up sh!t creek without a paddle." ;)

Well, the FAA just issued a new ruling today concerning commuting pilots:

"You can only jumpseat on your own carrier."

It may not apply across the Atlantic, (SAS, KLM or whoever) but UPS and Fed-Ex and them guys would certainly have to turn ya down for a ride.

Bad times ahead for sure.

Skal (skulle) du flyver ud af EWR, ORD, eller SEA?

Hvis det er ud af EWR, flyv til Torronto og tag Air Canada til CPH, eller prøv at komme med Iceland air ud af JFK via KEF til CPH, den sidste kunne være Continental over Manchester, og med SAS til CPH eller OSL.

Good luck paddleing.... :D

Hej Cloud Surfer
Den hurtigste måde at komme hjem på er nok at hive muldvarpen op af baglommen og finde plastickortet frem.
Buss. or First Class??
Hvis du får fuld løn selv om du ikke møder på arbejde, så spar muldvarpen for det skarpe sollys.

SAS Chicago (which handles all American and Canadian inqueries) pretty much laughed up my plans to get home soon. As for availability, I was offered a first class ticket with BA on the 22nd.... I dind't even ask for the price.

Might as well enjoy a looong vacation on the west coast (tryin to get out of YVR or SEA.)
:cool:
