I mean, the agents are there, the laptop is there, why can't FedEx go through? Because Fred said 'no'? We all need to push very hard to have one level of Known Crewmember for all of us, just like one level of safety, and with ALPA leading the way, its a matter of time before it becomes a reality. That last sentence was meant to be sarcastic.
Hey Wally Im on board with that but it seems a bit of a pipe dream. We dont even have the same level of safety! Check work/rest rules for 121 supp. compared to the rest. We haul alot of heros and I would love to ask the morons who wrote this rule if our heros derserve the same rested pilot as a person who paid a ticket. That can of worms has already been hashed over but Im just saying.

Ya hit the ball out of the park on this one Ultra. This is a concept that apparently escaped all the lawmakers and financially responsible businessmen out there. Maybe they should all go do a year deployed...and for the ones who have done one, do a year refresher deployment. (Not on a staff either) Movement to contact and all that fun stuff... Then if they make it through the deployment and they drag their tired a$$ (which won't be as fat anymore) onto the A/C, they can wonder about the outcome of the flight home.

I heard the same thing. But why should he get in trouble? Probably for publicly disclosing the clown act that is the TSA and their policies relative to crew members.

Otherwise, what laws did he violate? Attempting to sneak a deadly weapon past security? The same one that MUST be in the cockpit?

If you look on the back of the ID it has to do with Sentri and Ready Lane.
As the OP said, TSA had no clue what the ID was.

Both of you, it seems, are simply misunderstanding each other. Thedude is saying that the ID itself has nothing to do with checking in with PreCheck at the airport and he is correct. However, the number on the back of the ID is used to enter in the participating airlines' websites and that's where you, USMcFDX, are misunderstanding. Read your own quote. It says nothing about having the ID to show at the airport to access the PreCheck lane.


P.S. I tried to get my sixth grader to type this, but she said that this was boring her.

Probably one about removing equipment from an aircraft.
