Today I have some contract flying to do. Leaving BUR the TSA lines were 1hr plus. But I was in uniform with ID badge displayed, so I only had to wait 3 or 4 minutes.


Is that cheating? Because if it is, call me a cheater.
 
Nope. I can make it through security in PHX in 120 seconds. The uniform generally means "I've got my crap together, know what I'm doing and can be out of your hair in mere seconds" rather than the blackberry-belt-bangles-liquids-shoes-iphone-cellphone-bangles-bracelets-piercings-etc crowd that love to complain about the inefficiency of the screening checkpoints.

I remember going through security in LAS on the Allegiant tour with Rex. Hoooooooooly crap, that guy can configure fast.

It's not cheating in the slightest.

Unless you have a new belt that beeps through the detector. :( Pilot fail.

That what your uniform is for man! People can't fly if we can't get to the airplanes

You should have seen the line on the ramp at the FBO! 40+ small jets all want to take off at once.

I have concluded that TCU alums have more money then Wisconsin alums though.

Of course it isn't cheating! Do you work for an airline there or were you just hitching a ride with CASS?

With my laptop, and steel shank shoes, going through security I am more high maintenance than any chick I know... And I will always use that line.

Neither. I was on my way to HND via LAS to pick an airplane and passenger up and bring 'em home. Thank god my old boss still uses me for contract work. At least I get to fly once in a while.

Is this common in Burbank? Or was it just because of the Rose Bowl?

I have never seen it like that in BUR. I think it was a combination of the Rose Bowl (lots of purple at BUR this morning), the Rose parade, and travelers finally seeing some relief from the Eastern snow storms.

Those eastern snow storms caused me to have to drive home from Dallas to SoCal NON-STOP! What an experince that was.

Because it's so unreasonable to want to travel with these things.

Ok, maybe the two bangles is a little over the top.
 
Doing it as a ramper... maybe cheating. My guess is they either don't notice the lack of the word "crew" on my ID or they just don't care.
 
Thank "GOOFNESS" for Crew Lines?

I thought this was going to be a parody thread......
