commuting in the USA
Just wonderd if CX pilots based in the USA are in the CASS system? Can you jump seat to your base if you dont live in base or do you end up buying tickets. Also i was told CX does not allow its pilots to ride on CX freighters for insurance reasons. I live in Chicago and would have to commute to work, just wonderd how it works.

Commuting has been made nearly impossible now. You have to get passes and you have to got to HK to get them. They cannot be changed except by CX in HK. Jumpseat you can forget unless you are really lucky some days. It basically has become almost unbearable. Unless you live at your base it is not at all pleasant.
