From the way I understand it that is not all that uncommon of a situation. Each airport and TSA operation are somewhat of an independent entity. They have to follow general rules and practices but they can use measures outside of the norm (eg. no jumpseating without a boarding pass or uniform). Heard of the some of the same similar responses too such as "your airline doesn't operate here" thereby making you a non-operating crew member. In some cases these guys are just doing there jobs and all they know to look for is where is the boarding pass.

One day in LAX no problem, the next day I need a boarding pass. Repeat for SLC, SFO, DEN, I've had issues everywhere. The problem is each individual TSA operates however they see fit. They certainly don't have to answer to the pilot group. And if you quote or reference the AOSSP to them in any way, they can have you arrested. It's a lose-lose unfortunately however you look at it, so if I get hassled, I just play the Saturday Night Live TSA skit in my head a couple times, and it makes me feel better at least for a little bit.

Then again it could be an Okie thing. I love living there and love the people. Just many that you run in to do not use common sense.

Keep pursuing the matter with the higher ups at the TSA. I had a similar situation in which I almost got arrested. I called, e-mailed, and snail mailed the TSA "customer service" people and got a letter which I carry around in my bag from the director of the TSA at JFK which says something like any crew member is allowed through a security checkpoint with a valid air carrier ID badge. The only exception is if a terminal in strictly for international based carriers. Get a direct phone number to someone who has a little bit of power.

Can anyone get a copy of the TSA rules that show that boarding passes are not required for crew members whether in or out of uniform?

You know, these people are just trying to do their job. Problem is they suck at their jobs so badly. It drives me crazy how there's almost zero continuity from station to station.

Jumpseat Issue
Contact your Jumpseat Coordinator and try to give as much detailed information as possible. They have the means of getting the situation addressed.
Good luck, flynfr8 |
I've never had a problem in TUL, and I live here. Either in or out of uniform.
