And I know what Global Entry is. I have had it for 3 years and have used it 50+ times.
Doesn't really save you that much time either. Often, crew members who don't have Global Entry beat me thru customs as they utilize a sometimes quicker crew line. When G.E. is down I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to get through crew customs. Enjoy your $20 a year non perk.

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