I understand that AC has stopped their JS Policy temporarly, I did West Jet the other day though. I do have a Air Crew Security Pass and my licence and had no difficulty. A major difference with the West Jet system is that they check you in @ the counter with a ticket that says JS and $0.00. With Ac , I always had to weasel to the gate, many agents would refuse to help or say it wasn't possible. In one situation a friend of mine had given me the seat and the agent wouldn't let me board. She said he had changed his mind. He came up the ramp at the end of boarding and wondered what was taking so long with me and had to escort me to cockpit. Agent had lied. For no other reason that she didn't think it was right for another pilot who didn't work for AC to get the seat. West is tops in this department.
