Don't they have to take a system wide poll before making a decision on such things?Come on, its ONLY 815am now in Tempe. No one is even finished with their morning Starbucks there yet. The rest of the world cant be happening, can it?
There are mention of possible delays, but they say it is ATC delays. Nowhere else are delays mentioned OR the fact that customers need to check most carryon items with restricted articles.

This just came from the WEST MEC:
MEC Briefing
According to TSA and company officials - at this time - all UNIFORMED crewmembers will be expedited through the security checkpoint and are EXEMPTED from the no-liquids rule that was imposed this morning.
THE TSA MAY CHANGE THIS CREWMEMBER EXEMPTION, BUT FOR NOW, YOU ARE ABLE TO CARRY CONTAINERS WITH LIQUIDS IN THEM THROUGH SECURITY.
If this changes, we will update the information.
MEC President Gary Richardson is in constant contact with company officials and will provide updates if they are needed.
Your MEC Officers
I'm on an overnight right now and I need my hairspray, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc. I'm on a short overnight and I don't have time to go shopping and replace them.

Tempura is awake now. Info posted on thehub.
There is something on the Web Site now. It takes to direct to the TSA site.

Perhaps if they knew how, they would, but they don't. Rumors on here state that they didn't Beta test, or that they did so, but poorly. Should they even attempt to fiddle with the website, it would probably freeze. As if that would be a bad thing...... <_<
Edited to add: I've now located the carry-on advisory on the website, could they have made it any smaller?

Yeah I bet you can count on one hand how many wanted to be the first to hop on that bird post 9/11. Thanks anyway...LOL
Look, from a Company who is asking Employees what tools they need to do their jobs (see the Hub or Compass), don't you think putting something on our Pi$$ Poor web site would have helped the Agents?

Rule #1: Work for free, be aware of the rules before they're announced, updated, changed, amended, and, absolutely always be happy about it. Remember your lanyard says: You make US Fly!
Rule #2: See Rule #1

Maybe they give the pax enough credit to assume they've seen or heard the news before they get to the airport. Slamming the company for not jumping to a knee-jerk reaction is pretty weak. Slam them for something substantial, but not this.

Prior to leaving my supervisor advised that in the morn, the GATE AGENTS WILL BE DOING 100% pASSENGER SCREENING AT THE BOARDING AREA..sINCE WHEN DOES THE tsa does NOT do THIER job?!

I'm waiting for a secret clearance as well, they must have interviewed 20 people about me, but I should get the clearance pretty soon, I guess it depends on which government agency you go through.
