And some former ASA agents..now DAL working ASA flights........the girl wouldn't list me until I tore my bag apart looking for my passport.
The entire system is ridiculous. I have/had a sec clearance in the USAF, yet I had to get a frickin' FAA background check? Wasted $. Then....when I went back after furlough...my fingerprints were rejected. Why? Well the person I spoke with asked if I was in the military and had a Sec Clrc and asked some more questions. Turns out my prints with DAL were not high enough quality and didn't match my former DOD prints.....had to redo them.
All this CASS, Crew PASS...is CRAP for guys in the US Mil. We should be easy and free with regards to this..yet the FAA feels they need to do their own checks!
