Default Any Problems with CREWPASS

I just tried the Crewpass in PIT. It was easy and fast! Has anyone had problems with it? I know ALPA worked really hard to get this in place so feedback to ALPA is encouraged so we can get this at all airports....NON ALPA pilots can just *reap the benefits!
* corrected...it was late

Went through in BWI this past week without much trouble. Although it took my captain and I just about as long to go through the crewpass line as it took our FA to go through the normal line. Nice to not have to pull out the laptop though! If they could just figure out a way to speed it up and drop the requirement to be in costume...errr...I mean uniform, I think we have a winner.

I had the same experince in PIT last weekend. It was nice not to take off my boots and my laptop, I cannot say that it was much quicker than the normal employee line there, but it was still so nice and easy. It just nice not to have the hassel, and the way they were doing it in PIT, it looked like it would be cheep to implement system wide.

I was on the verge being impressed with the system. I am looking forward to seeing work in wide scale test or all the way online.

I had the same experience in PIT last week. Very easy. My only trepidation is that right now its implemented in PIT (a ghost town), CAE (not exactly an internation hub) and BWI (the alternate DC airport). If this gets the green light from the braintrust and is implemented in lets say JFK, ORD, LGA, LAX, SFO, etc.......what are the odds that, as another poster put in a different thread, that once this is in place and TSA is whiddled down to one or two agents working the CrewPass line that this becomes the usual TSA snafu?

So, absolutely no other pilot group had any say / help in this? It's all ALPA ?

Nope. ALPA even provided the laptops to the TSA during the test phase.

Oh please, what has ALPA done this past 10 years to preserve QOL, Pay, Pensions, work rules, jobs, are you not paying attention to what has happened to this profession? Yet the largest pilot group in the country can't do anything about it, Oh that's right it's an organization of safety. Unless ALPA gets back to its old ways of back in the day, they are pretty useless bunch of burocrats who are only there to preserve the status quo.
