Amen! I forgot that.

9 years of TSA BS
 

ALC, Sailingfun, finis72 and others,

Just a quick review, It's been a little over 9 years since 9/11 and we still can't go to work without having to deal with this TSA BS. Come on 9 years!, I can go to my local gym and use my thumb print to get in. The technology is available to verify who we are. They (TSA, DHS & FAA) know who we are, we all have had 10 year back ground checks and many have held security clearances in our prior jobs. This is all security theater and I believe most pilots are upset because we know bull **** when we see it. ALPA, has been working on this in the background, but don't you think 9 years is a little excessive.:eek: I for one will opt out for the package check every time.

Rant Off.

Jack, according to some of the CAPA guys they are not getting invited to all of the meetings. Why is that?

Maybe because they are spewing rhetoric around the process instead of trying to work on their issues within the ARC.

Just sayin.

Has anyone worn a cup for the molestation exam yet? I'm seriously considering getting mine out of retirement from my stinky old hockey bag. How funny would it be for a TSA bonehead to knock on a cup. "Whats in your pants Mr. Pilot? It's my package holder, here why don't you hold it for me." :D

As the letter says it comes down to who is going to pay for it. If we can look back at the last decade, there has not been a string of quarters that many airlines except LUV that have been profitable. Add in the 1113C era and it is easy to see why this has not been a front burner issue for the companies, or in many cases the pilot groups, as they were fighting for their lives in the many 1113C processes.

If you notice, CAPA associations are fairing no better. It comes down to the money.

Acl, you gotta admit that Alpa's message in October was pathetic. Hindsight is 20/20 and I can see they were working behind the scenes. They really do need to grow a pair though. I think a lot of us would like to see if they actually have teeth. Maybe age 65 means Alpa is just full of gummers!!!!

That would be hilarious! Although I think I'm going to go with T's idea of going commando. :D

You mean you guys DON'T go Commando?! I thought all of us did.:D

If insults being hurled back and forth were grounds to close down the thread, that would have happened years ago. That's what makes this place fun!:D

I didn't get that memo! :eek: :p
