I told her I would be happy to meet her on the other side of customs and sign the form there. She told me that would be a refusal to sign and she couldn't let me leave. It wasn't like I could go anywhere in between. Finally we settled on adding extra time to the alotted window, but man what a fiasco
They are supposed to meet you in the crew room to sign.

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American.
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also isn't an American at all.
We have room for but one flag, the American Flag...
We have room for but one language here and that is the English Language...
We have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

I have always been met on the jetway, if that is not right maybe we should get the union involved here.

They meet you at the aircraft, then you follow them to the crew room. Then they give you a taxi voucher. This way, there is no excuse for you car breaking down.
