Well, we are working on getting a bunch more. The deals that are official are announced. We are looking at getting the JAL birds as well as the other China Eastern birds that we do not have yet.

I do like specifics. That's what makes this the latest and greatest.

He 80 a good way to see if they have you sked for tng is to look at the reasons report. It will show any training scheduled. Yes, even for May. If it is not scheduled, then no luck....

LOL.. that would be nice of course, but it is painfully obvious what the ripples generated by the drawdown of the CVG -ER will do. The only non sequitor is the requirement for the CVG guys to be getting their Chinese visas. Makes one go 
... but then again, they make guys go to recurrent when they will go to a new airplane next week.

Actually it's not far off. Each (big) airport has it's own TSA staff and Federal Security Director or (FSD) who works in conjunction with his or her assigned airport. The TSA and the airports work out agreements on how certain aspects of the security process will work, ID readers at the gates in Atlanta is one example of local policy.
The relationship between the airlines, airports and the TSA is a very complex and political one. Political beyond what most folks realize. I see this getting standardized sometime in the next 50 years or so.

Yeah, I guess that I was using too big of a blanket in my statement. I am intimately familiar with the structure and workings of the TSA. My statement was more in response to Crewpass. This is a hq item and if it was acted upon, the direction could/should be standard across the system. Right now, it is tied up in funding and other things.

1234, you are correct about CREWPASS. I am referring to the other nuances of TSA

KC10;
When TSA approves said airline. As with some of our outstations the local TSA has proved alternate means of verification. Nuf said.
