If it costs $50 for Crewpass, couldn't DALPA pay for it?
$600,000 for 12,000 pilots?

FtB;
You want your union to get in the business of paying for government employees and data bases?

TSA is examining "alternative security protocols for airline pilots that would expedite screening for this low-risk population while maintaining high security standards," the DHS official told Reuters.
The new tests come after talks earlier this week between TSA Administrator John Pistole and the head of the Air Line Pilots Association, the largest U.S. pilot union, about how to address the concerns among cockpit crews.

ALPA has always run to the "we dont negotiate with the public" mentality as far as requests for more PR within our indiv. contracts.
This needs to change, and can be done on a national level.
The traveling public has no idea what our rest rules and compensation packages really comprise of.
"taking it back" and a few signs and stickers are a joke.

Agreed. I would rather picket the screenings with signs saying" we may be on less rest than the truck you passed to the airport" or " your pilot may make half of what the screener does" or "I got 6 hours of sleep last night"

With the TSA annual budget being $6.3 Billion, and taxes comprising around 30% of the average airline ticket, I think the government is more than capable of picking up the tab for CrewPASS implementation. (along with freeing up TSA resources to better focus on REAL threats.)

Their policies make about as much as sense as tits on a bull.

I'd just like to see our union get a back bone, take a stand, and have us all cease-and-desist this asinine, humiliating excuse of a "show" for the sake of "security". By nature, what rises to the level of an SOS is a moving target. This is only the second event I've witnessed that meets that threshold.
Respectfully,
chuck

The 3-1-1 makes a ton of sense in regard to explosives. Without getting in to details there is a reason they are limiting at this size.
