Skywest to charge for PC's?

[difete]

Today Skywest Announced to all non-US citizens, that the Airline has decided to reimburse the TSA fee for PC's, and also reimburse for pilot medicals.

I am glad my airline has stepped in, but, I do not think it is the airline's responsibility anyway, the government should not charge that anyway. All the information they want on that "background" can be readily obtained from the FBI (Fingerprints), the FAA (Certificates), the AME's (Medical, aslo can be obtained from the FAA), Passport (From immigration dept). Do not know what that fee is going for, if the non-us citizens have to provide all that info all the time every PC.

To the powers that be who made this happen,

Thank you.

Now where is that I-501 form again?

lol.

It will only take a white dude to do a terrorist attack in this "TSA" era, and all of you (citizens) will pay background checks too.

Agreed. I support the background checks, but the company needs to cover the costs are part of doing business.

An FAA medical is a cost of doing business...How many carriers pay for that?

OH pays for it
