Security morons at work.
Paris Orly, roughly 2,5 years ago:
They: Badge, Badge, Badge!
I: no badge, but ATP plus Passport.
They: no, badge! You airline, you need badge!
I: no, I´m not airline, I´m coorperate pilot, we have no badge
They....
This continued roughly 10 minutes until they agreed to call a supervisor.
He had the courage to let us go. But not without saying that this would be the last time.
Now I have a selfmade badge and everything is perfect.
In Kazakhstan they regurlarly complain that there is no date of issue on it.
But only in UASK.
When I land in UATE I just need a visa. When I land in UAAA or UACC we as crew are not asked for our visa.
Morons, as I said.
It is high time that pilots globally go on strike about these issues. issue a licence with photo ID and make the morons accept it.
Yes, I am a dreamer....
BTW, I tried to get an official crew card from the LBA, but this bunch of... issues them ONLY for commercial operators. Sometimes I get really agitated about these people, really I do...
