Finally! Thank you for catching on.

Take this quarter, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face.

That problem has an easy solution. If the hotel cannot give you another room to get proper rest, then call accommodations and tell them you need another hotel. The reason we stay at hotels with noise issues is because no one complains about it. It's your right to stay somewhere to get proper sleep.

Did it. It’s a separate office from the normal accommodations for training. Still waiting to hear back, weekend incommunicado, I’m sure.

I don't blame you at all. I have changed hotels on layovers a few times over the years for legitimate noise issues, and have always had accommodations get a suitable location. Delta never even asked me why I changed hotels. and I filled out an FCR just to document it.

Has anyone done the Global Entry "Interview on Arrival", instead of scheduling an interview? Then more specifically, in ATL, can you just show up at CBP anytime, or does it really have to be inbound from an international flight? 330 training next month, time to start skipping Customs lines...

So far the crew line has been faster than global entry. That may not last but precovid the mobile passport app was faster than global entry.

I did Interview on Arrival in ATL. It was easy, and it was even 1945 on a Sunday. As far as just somehow showing up in the arrival hall for an unannounced interview, I’d guess the bureaucrats would have issues, but I don’t see much harm in hitting the press to test button.

FWIW, I haven’t seen a major difference between the Global Entry and crew line yet.

Well, many have a credit card that will pay for Global, and you do get TSA precheck for you and your party when you non-rev. Also the global entry machines have been updated lately where you just look into the camera and it asks if you are you and you came from where you came from. You just say yes, and boom you get a receipt. No more typing etc......

That first sentence is why I got it. It would also be fabulous when there isn’t a crew line or you can’t use it.

I did it because getting an appointment was like waiting in line at the DMV. I tried to just show and they wouldn’t see me unless you were inbound on an international flight. Also you need to have been told to schedule an interview so there is a varying lag time between submitting your application and getting the opportunity to schedule an interview.
