I will use it at least twice in the coming year for personal travel abroad. Will I have paid to use it? No - AAG did. Over the course of my life time is it pennys that I get out of this yes. But still something I did not pay for.

People will complain if the company handed out $100 bills.

American Airlines To Provide Global Entry Membership For Crew Members -- FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Dang it, silly me for thinking the announcement would include $40/hr starting pay, historically low reserve time and a 12-18 month upgrade time!

I don't think anyone was complaining, just most are saying it's not a big deal.

Hey, how was PNHL? Have any trouble finding the airport? I'm sure with your skillz and that mighty GV you had no problem with an off field landing.

It was fantastic. Thanks for asking PNHL was due to autocorrect on iPhone.

Diva, check your facts before you get on your high horse. The fee is $100, but it's a 5-year pass. The equates to $20 a year.

Sorry my bad. I agree with you. Anyway my point with the post was to inform Envoy pilots will be getting company provided Global Entry memberships. I believe many will benefit from this both at work & on personal travel. I'm not a fan of long lines.

I wonder why they left PSA and PDT behind??? It doesn't make sense...

One reason I think we will be doing more international cities once the E175 come on line..I heard the (E175) dfw will be a bridge to the MIA flying..

...if you already have Global Entry, the company will reimburse you, that's $100 bucks back on my pocket, which is like 70 beers!
