Actually, just the opposite is true. If we are flying a trip, we are allowed to bypass. For deadheading, or just accessing the crew room without a trip, or airport reserve, we are supposed to go through screening. Those guidelines were published a long time ago, and though they haven't been superseded by anything, most blow them off and just bypass whenever. |
Oh. I watched the video and took the silly little test for a PDX badge about a year ago, and I swear they said you're not allowed to use bypass doors if you're flying, period. But you'd know better than me!

That's normally true; the exception is when you are assigned to a flight as a crewmember.

I stand corrected.
When did you start with Horizon, JungleBus? |
We're all waiting for the CrewPass deal...
Hell, if the pax can't trust the Pilots who are flying their aircraft- and thus the security screening, why are they getting on board?! The TSA is a silly institution with silly rules... Oops that went off-topic a bit LoL just getting some frustration out because I've already destroyed my punching bag ;-P (that was dressed up as a TSA dude haha) |

Let me get this straight. If you are still allowed to bypass security to fly a trip. . .then why are you whining? Up here in Seattle we lost our badges a long time ago and it hasn't really effected me or anyone I know of.

The main pain about lacking a SIDA badge is accessing the crew room. Right now it's a straight shot, but without a SIDA badge it could involve a hike all the way out to the A-gates and back depending on whether anyone is staffing the B-gates or not. Plus the whole going through security thing. Any contact with the TSA puts me in a bad mood to start my day.
In Seattle, we let ourselves out onto the ramp, SIDA badge or not. |

That could be a problem although I've never seen the B-area gates not staffed. Remember the customer service center is right there in the west in of the B gates. They've always been accomodating in letting me down to the crew room since I'm Seattle based. In Seattle, we let ourselves out onto the ramp, SIDA badge or not. Because we ARE ABOUT TO LOSE THAT ABILITY! That's kind of what the whole thread is about... |
