CrewPASS!

[Crzipilot]

TSA's standards require CrewPASS service providers to, among other things, include a biometric component in crewmember credentials before requesting approval to expand the system to additional U.S. airports.


This little gem right here, may just delay this a few years....don't get too happy there. What biometric component must be in our Id's now, and how much is that going to cost to get implemented???

Huh? Biometrics would be your fingerprint or retina scan! Denver has been doing this for years already! Swipe your badge, and scan your fingerprint...

I hope the powers that be improve the scanners. Those things don't work that well from what I have seen. Of course, they are pretty old.

We have to be fingerprinted before we can get our IDs as new-hires now, so I don't think it'd be that much more difficult to implement this for crewpass

I commute out of PIT and have used it every week since it started. The only time it's ever taken longer than the security line is if there's a line of pilots waiting. Usually I'm the 1st or only guy there and takes less than 45 seconds.

I overnight in CAE a lot. Our FA’s usually beat us through even if we are first. Of course there are rarely more than 5 or so passengers in line there in CAE. I usually use the regular line unless there is more than five in it because it is faster than crew pass.

I would much rather go through the CrewPass line because I don't have to take my laptop out or separate all my stuff.

Usually I have to wait for a TSA agent to come over to the where the laptop is... no big deal really.

I asked them in CAE once about this. I was told that the laptop they use for Crewpass ran through the airports' free wireless, and that system goes down on a regular basis. Apparently the airport wasn't interested in setting up a hardline for this.

Peace.

Do you have to be in uniform to use it?

I read that the uniform was required for the trial period. I haven't seen anything, yes or no about whether wearing a uniform will be required once it gets fully implemented.

I believe that the TSA goon comparing the photo in CASS and your passport qualifies as the "biometric component".

Good to see its a completely SECURE system! No skillful computer dude could hack through that!!!
