This is commonly believed by many but it is not correct.

You are subject to random screening but they can only confiscate an item that is prohibited.

You can have a gallon jug of water through KCM traveling for pleasure out of uniform if you want.

 

What about my statement isn't correct? I said if he's gets selected for full passenger screening then he's subjected to liquid, et al restrictions.

Straight from the horse's mouth...

Uniforms

Effective January 13, 2015, crewmembers are no longer required to wear uniforms when utilizing the KCM access points at airports nationwide. Uniformed crewmembers are allowed certain exemptions by the TSA when they are screened at KCM access points and passenger screening checkpoints. With the change of the uniform requirement, these exemptions at the KCM access point and at the passenger screening checkpoint will be permitted in accordance with the following:

a. Uniformed crewmembers will continue to have exemptions at the passenger screening checkpoint and the KCM access point.

b. Non-uniformed crewmembers, who are selected and receive random screening at the KCM access point, will continue to have exemptions.

c. Non-uniformed crewmembers who are selected for random screening at KCM access points, then directed by the TSA officer to the passenger screening checkpoint (at either the standard lane or employee lane, where available) to receive screening:
• WILL NOT be allowed exemptions
• Are not permitted to utilize TSA Pre✓™ lanes
• Do not have front-of-the-line access to the standard passenger screening lane
• (Note: Non-uniformed crewmembers are viewed as passengers when screened at passenger screening checkpoints and are screened to passenger screening standards. This is a longstanding rule that has not been changed.)
Notice: When approaching a KCM access point, non-uniformed crewmembers should wear their airline ID visible on their outer most garment above their waist. This will assist the Transportation Security Officer (TSO) in identifying you as a crewmember approaching the KCM podium and not a passenger attempting to breach the sterile area of the airport.

 

If you show up at KCM out of uniform, and then get picked for a random full screening, you can ask for an escort by a TSA agent from the KCM to the normal security lane and not be subjected to the 3-1-1 rule.

The escort between to two locations is the key. It's worked this way for me before.

The August 2016 ALPA magazine describes this.

And no- I cannot find anywhere on the KCM site to back this up.

 

Dinosaur is awesome... but not worth the location. There is a decent mall area 13 min from the airport that would be much better.

So, you know, fill out those FCRs, they'll be right on it. Mention crews getting robbed, they'll move it to the top of the.... wait, isn't this an 88 overnight? They won't do ****.

 

There was a murder there this summer on the 10th floor.

 

Actually, I believe it was a suicide when the person checked the latest AE results and saw they had been displaced to the Maddog in NYC

 

Like me......Got an AE to the 350 and training bypassed for 4 years on the 88

Can't believe FTB can spell dinasaur correctly!

 

The Dinosaur is still there?!? Cool.........haven't been there since my DC-9 days. Great place....beer, ribs and blues music. Plus, the Capt got laid

 

Guys,

Thinking of buying my wife a confirmed ticket to CUN. Both less and even less fares are available - what is the difference besides cost? Any gothcha's with these tickets? Dates are firm as we are meeting people.

I plan on jump-seating on the same flight. Any issues with a JS to CUN from LAX?

Thanks Scoop
