A slight difference of opinion.....
Crews don't need SIDA badges. They do no good at any airport except your base (still standing in line after the layovers) and crews don't need all the access that a SIDA badge provides.
What crews need is nationwide UAS, preferably with biometric identification - at those airports their airline serves. Don't expect it anytime soon, though.

So are many of the passengers on your flights! Quite frankly, given how easy creating fake IDs and uniforms is these days, everyone should go through security. As a passenger, I'm not comfortable if anyone bypasses.
As far as uniforms and IDs go, how about the police? They walk past security and with firearms...they only have an ID and uniform.
However, maybe the TSA sees the future that the American public wanted by not wishing to pay what it cost to do business as an airline...more foreign pilots with questionable credentials and the inability to do a thorough background check on them, due to their home country being non-cooperative with the US; the job is lousy and fewer Americans will do it anymore. Is this not the arguement we hear with regards to illegal aliens, maybe they should fly the planes too, then you could cut ticket prices even more?
The ramp is a dangerous place, we use to have crews walk across the ramp in CLT and a few times they were hit by ground eqiupment, even the van service had a few fender benders.
The ramp is congested enough, we dont need flight crews all over the place.
I think Crews should stand in line like everyone else. Heck, why not even let some PAX cut in front of them from time to time just to be friendly and helpful.
Unless of course they are deadheading to their Rest Period or commuting home for their days off. Having adequate rest is a safety issue!
Actually, my idea is an addition to EMBFA’s list of reminders…One last thing...Jesus Christ, we have no other perk. Let us enjoy this one.
The technology is there....the TSA need to use it...it is called iris identification. all flight crew members would have their iris id in the database. just look into the scanner and go. anyone can fake an ID or uniform but you can never pass if its not you with iris scan.So are many of the passengers on your flights!

Didn't we try this in CLT?
