I called for the supervisor.. to no avail... now im on a four day trip with no toiletries.... I was in FULL uniform.... Im still ****ed about this.. this is the first time ive had a gate agent refuse to take the ssss off the boarding pass, and the first time Ive had to go through secondary screening. tsa kept telling me that if I go down to the ticket counter I can have them take the ssss off the boarding pass, but the gate agent wouldnt have held the flight for me, and it was 20 min to departure. Im so frusterated with this system, and it needs to be changed.


CREWPASS NOW!

Yeah, I flew with a CA once where that happened to him while he was trying to commute out of DEN. He refused to let them take his stuff. Called CS and taken off the trip. I used to commute out of FAR. Same thing. Uniformed crew memebers HAD to have at least a departure card. I would list for the UAX flight and hit the kios on the way in. Small towns man...

not a good day for PHX today.
