People are delusional if $50 from each unionized pilot anually is going to cover the cost of a govt run system.
What is there, maybe 75,000 unionized pilots? I don't know, but even at that number assuming all bought in, that would be just $3.8 million.... The feds spend that much annually just studying parking lot design. If it were that cheap, it would be done already, if not by industry, then just by TSA to take employees out of the system.

Are we required to cut in line?
Can someone please find where it says, "....flight crew members are required to proceed to the front of the security lines at all airports, in order to protect the integrity of the schedule."
If this is not in the FOM, then why do we pilots/FA's insist on cutting in line? We are doing TSA, and the Company a big favor! If we went to the back of the line and resisted TSA's urges to allow us to cut...I would guess someone would pay the bill for CrewPass overnight. Can you imagine the delays this would cause?
Maybe we should have a "Customer Priority Month" campaign. In appreciation of the significant sacrifices that the traveling public have made for crewmembers at the TSA lines around the country...we flightcrewmembers will not CUT!!

A novel thought, with merit.^^^^^
Someone asked earlier in the thread if pilots should pay for F/As and other employees too. That seemed a little out of left field.
We've all had the experience of the F/As cutting in front of us in line, heck I've had the experience of pilots cutting in front of me in line after I've already cut. Yup.

If we start taking delays by not cutting in line, they wouldn't give us CrewPass.
All they would do is make our hotel pick-up time 20 minutes earlier.

exactly! Nobody cares as long as your there at show time and the flight leaves on time. Crewmembers usually cut cause we have our own line, and as far as i have seen in the past years, pax are pretty good about letn a crew go by. If u dont want to cut in line, you take the 6am and i will be on the 630 van, and get some coffee too while your there

However, if we all cave to mgt again, we can start funding CrewPass ourselves...then it will be ATC upgrades (how about $1000 per pilot), then...I don't know, how about runway signage light bulbs?
