Small favor
Hi everyone.
My brother and I collect airline knick-knacks from all over the world. For a while now we've been trying to get our hands on these :
http://www.denvermainliner.com/index.php/luggage/crew-luggage-tags/united-airlines-crew-gel-bag-tag-with-new-logo-blue.html
http://www.denvermainliner.com/index.php/luggage/crew-luggage-tags/united-airlines-crew-gel-bag-tag-with-new-logo.html
They're nearly impossible to find, and the above website will only sell them to United employees...
If any one of you could help me out with this, I'd really appreciate it!

They're pretty easy to get.
Private-Commercial-College-Multi-CFI-CFII-Severalthousandhours-Charter or Night Freight or Corporate etc-Commuter-Upgrade-Severalthousandmorehours-etc or LongStintInOneOfUncleSamsFlyingClubs-Apply-wait-wait-wait-wait.....
Sorry, but unless you are employed by the airline, I don't think you ought to have one. Hell, it chaps my a$$ when I see Express crews sporting the old round orange tags. Security concerns aside, that's a tag that many have paid dearly for, and its a pretty tight fraternity. They were VERY difficult for us to get. They out to be damn near impossible for you.
Try eBay.

Thus they were worth their weight in gold and only issued to verified UAL flight crew.

Saftey concerns... We aren't talking about a KCM card, but a cosmetic piece of rubber serving no purpose.
Why is this seller (/you) making it so special, I do not know. But no need to be condescending.
To the others : thanks. I was at the CVG Crew Outfitters this morning and they didn't have them. Will try other locations.

Putting one of those on your bag will get you ZERO consideration from the ramp crew. It’s merely a decoration. The orange tag mentioned previously is different, and only UAL flight crews should have those.
