The points are taken from what I've either heard or seen while stood looking at the cracked MME tarmac while airside.....thats the side of the fence you need a badge for
My last comment on this subject, why the h*ll would I want a badge !??
The only time I ever go near an airport is as a travelling passenger.
I'd love to assume that there are some who have a "badge" that precludes the need to pass through various security checks, though the converstions I have had with the pilots I know clearly indicate that your "badge" counts for absolutely nothing in this sense, save the occasional "fast track" which you as habitual users are more than welcome
Unfortunately your badge won't even count for this privilege if DTVA closes, hopefully though you will have the relevant contacts & experience to relocate your flying career up the road or where ever. I am also very aware there are many not as fortunate who do not possess the mobility and oportunity to assist their employment chances.
