[FONT=&quot]TSA Gives Green Light for Next Phase of ALPA CrewPASS Program[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]ALPA president Capt. John Prater and National Security Committee chairman Capt. Robb Powers (Alaska) this week met with Transportation Security Administration Acting Administrator Gale Rossides to discuss CrewPASS and other security issues. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Rossides reported that TSA has approved the next phase of the CrewPASS project. The pre-operational phase of this demonstration is to begin by May 1, and the CrewPASS contractor, ARINC, will replace the ALPA-loaned laptops with new Internet-capable devices that will provide both employment status confirmation and identity verification via fingerprint biometrics. TSA has approved the deployment of this equipment at all three current CrewPASS locations (BWI, PIT, and CAE) and will add one additional terminal at BWI for a total of four lanes. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]ARINC will begin enrolling pilots in the CrewPASS system in the near future, and ALPA will help the company advertise the biometric enrollment venue and date information. Flight crews will still be able to use all four lanes without biometrics for an extended period of time. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Next steps for CrewPASS include the publication of program standards by TSA, which would include nationwide implementation, inclusion of flight attendants, and other measures. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Prater and Powers also spoke to Rossides about ALPA’s views regarding needed improvements to the Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO) program, all-cargo operations security, the development of standards for secondary barriers, and the need for approving international jumpseating via the Cockpit Access Security System (CASS).[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]Thanks ALPA!!!
