Additionally, as earlier stated, they’re our bags, not the company’s. So unless the company rep has a search warrant, a qualified LEO, and a union rep present at the time of requested search, all pilots on the list are protected from this nonsense, regardless of SSI status.
I don’t know any of the legalities involved, but just for argument’s sake:
A. FAs have SSI info in their manuals too
B. All our manuals are digital
C. Our managers are privy to that SSI also
D. My bag gets searched 2-3 times a week by TSA, Customs, or a foreign equivalent
