I've had the same problem trying to leave BDL. Once they call down to the gate/ticket counter they find out I don't need the pass. I started just going through in my uniform & no more issues - they wave me right through.

Crewpass is still in testing stages & correct me if I'm wrong - but I think it will only be for on duty crews? It is awesome at CAE though. Just show your passport & your done

Crewpass is for any authorized pilot in uniform which includes jumpseaters.

Not only do we need crewpass at all airports - we need a nation wide SIDA badge! so I can get down the damn jet way at 0500 to get to my damn airplane!

O Yeah.... They would not accept my airline ID as a form of IDeither....This all just started.....Has there been a rulechange....Should I contact ALPA.... I just want to easily get to work...
I have run into the same thing at some airports. Varies station to station. I actually had TSA refuse to allow me to go through security because I was operating the flight. They said I needed a boarding card. I had to go back down to the ticket counter and be let out to walk across the cold and snow covered ramp. But at least we were keeping the flying masses safer!
