If you have SSSS it won’t let you check in, you will have to go to the counter.

But you should see the SSSS if you check in online, right?

Used to airline on paid tickets 4 times a month when 91K,
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. SSSS. (one-way trips, bought day of travel). I would walk up to the TSA guy and go: "male assist, no alarm", while handing him over my boarding card. Went over REALLY well with them...

As a passenger, the mobile app will tell you need to use a kiosk, and the kiosk will print the SSSS pass. Not sure if it's the same for a SB pass.

I think the new TSA honcho's are just tightening things up and think flight crew are a soft spot is security. This will catch guy's flat footed when JSing, no doubt.

And those “honchos” would be idiots. The soft spot is the FA and ramp and gate agents that were wall mart greeters a month prior. I already have control of the plane!!!! It’s maddening

I am the deadly weapon! I don’t have to smuggle anything in. It’s crazy.

Nice to know that's what you think of fellow crew members whose butts are on the plane, same as you!
I agree about rampers, gate agents and any other airport employee with no skin in the game.

BTW, I've never been a Walmart greeter or flipped a burger. :rolleyes:

You forget sport.... whose in front of the bulletin proof door... and whose behind of the bulletin proof door... the first and last line of defense. The scary part???? you have control of the plane.

How I wish that door would protect me from company bulletins.

I fly with many wonderful FAs. That doesn’t change the fact the barriers to entry are low and most have very little vested.
