Aircrew Identification Badges

[Tgaug6300]

With all the different Aircrew ID Badges available out there (Jepp, Universal, and Arinc), which one does your operation use, and why?

Thanks!

Badges...we don't need no stinking badges!

Seriously though, we have IBAC IDs, but given the way we operate we really don't use them unless there's a "need".

We have IBAC badges - not convinced they are all that important but have always worn them as needed out of the country (never been asked to have them available). Easy to obtain

I wouldn't bother if domestic.

We only have them for a few Intl destinations that look at them and write the ID number on the Gendec and match that at arrival and departure. Always good idea to have one, even in Europe...but is a necessity in the Mideast, etc. No big deal.

IBAC/UV/ARINC - whatever is cheapest.

Thanks guys, we have world-wide ops and are currently using Universal Badges. I didn't know if there were really any benefits with any of the other companies. Again thanks for the replies.

I actually make our badges using this place online, cheap, simple, customized to our company logo/colors and quick. https://www.fullidentity.com/ ... they even put a pretty hologram on it too. Works great for our ops throughout the middle east and asia.

We just carry around our SIDA badge. Never been asked to see it except at home ;-)

Just have a Uvair badge on lanyard with home airport badge. Rarely use it. Crew luggage tags are strongly frowned upon where I work.

We use company issued badges, no problems. You're probably aware Dubai does not accept laminated ID's, but carrying US PP works fine.

Why would a dept. frown on crew ID bag tags?
