Yeah, that really helps for those of us who fly internationally... :rolleyes:

I must ask - did they harass you about your facial hair? :D

I stayed in Pittsburgh Friday night. When going through security Saturday morning, they waved me over to the crew pass lane. It consisted of 2 TSA people with a laptop. They took my airline ID and drivers license...a couple seconds later my CASS photo popped up on the computer and they let me go. It took all of 30 seconds.

I'd love to see more of this.

They should not be required.

Why are they requiring a second form of ID if you pict comes up in CASS?

Cass is the same way, Required to have passport although most gate ageents don't ask for it~

Pilots with us used it last week in PIT, said it went smooth, they said it would've moved quicker if the TSA wouldn't have been yapping to each other, right now they are being nice because they know the Pilots are liking the new service. Only a matter of time when their is only one person in there (instead of three that day) and you have to wait, and they are ****ed because they have to type the info in "all Day". ANd as previously mentioned by one of the so many Skinny pilots, "My Fat @$$" had to go through the old fashion way and we came through shortly behind them and they were nice enough to wait.

They're "yapping" because they're hoping the pilots will join their conversation so they can turn on their alcohol detection devises - their noses.

I remember being told by a buddy of mine who lives in LAS that a couple of years ago when an Airtran captain got busted for trying to fly while under influence the TSA agent who raised the alarm got a $500 or so locally authorized bonus from the LAS TSA office. So now many of them look at us as a possible "investment." :rolleyes:

Note I'm not defending that captain's actions, just repeating what my friend heard from one of his neighbors who works for TSA in LAS.

Ha, thanks for the laugh. While my ass is skinny, the rest of me isn't. I see by your screen name that you have a sense of humor, so I assume you knew I was joking. Our FA that day was seriously upset that we were doing CrewPass without her, but of course we waited for her. I'm baffled as to why the AFA is against this though.:confused:

We are not AFA so I don't know but I know someone in High up management elsewhere and was told CASS was never offered to FA's, It was only required to sit on the Pilot Jumpseat. But they are sure if Airinc (the company that runs cass) figures out that they can make more money buy adding us, I'm sure they will try BUT it will be up to the management group(s) to add US, but for most, it won't happen! From what I understand, the fees to join CASS and the monthly "upkeep" fees are Astronomical!

AirInc runs CASS? Holy schmokies, if Kit Darby is in charge of CASS we’re all doomed. :eek:
