FHead ... don't be rediculous ... only wa*kers would do such a thing ... I heard it through the grape vine that crew in DN were getting into not only The Vic but also Throb
... flight crew didnt count but if you pushed trolleys ... you're in for free!

Many years ago in Melbourne a nightclub that I used to frequent, would have an 'industry night' for anyone with an ASIC, sadly at the time I didn't have an ASIC, no ASIC no entry...

I was purchasing some post flight relaxants as I passed through Downtown Duty Free when they noticed my ASIC slung around my neck. "Oh, you're flight crew" was the comment. Another 20% off my purchases... you beauty!
A few more trips overseas and I will have recouped the cost of my ASIC. Who says they're good for nothing... Mind you, I'd have to do a fair bit of international travel to profit from it.
As for the Woolshed, I didn't even know... see you there! I'll be easy to recognise, I'll be the one waving my hands in the air... see the Jet Pilot vid if you want a laff...

So being a 17 year old, jobless, student pilot... do you guys reckon it'd be appropriate or out of place to wear an ASIC around airports just so I could get discounts and the like?
A pilots license sits in your bag, an ASIC hangs round the neck, these shop keepers (except maybe the owners) don't have xray vision!

Wouldnt your pilot licence have the same affect helifella ?

Flying Binghi, I'm not sure whether my pilots license (SPL) got me laid last time... it was probably because the girl loves me though...
Bakc to my question:
What do you guys think of a 17 year old wearing an ASIC around an airport?
I usually keep mine in my bag...

Last time I went thru Airport security I was random checked and asked to empty my pockets so she could swab my wallet for explosives . On seeing my ASIC ( I dont wear it inside terminals cause I feel like a tosser with it on)she looked so disappointed that I wasnt a terrorist ....but swabbed me anyway.
Seriously We should start an online petition to get rid of the ASIC card ,its just a waste of time and makes Avaition less user friendly .

You'd really have to go through a lot of airport food to recoup the cost of the ASIC, though..

Your ASIC is likely to cost more from 01 Jul 08.
AUSCHECK have increased the security checking fees from $86.00 to $88.00 for a new application and $76.00 to $79.00 for a renewal.
Carbon, you can always use an arm band holder or, have a clear plastic pocket on your hi-vis vest. OH&S issue solved

Pyro,
That's why I posted what the actual increase was. I would be disappointed to see any issuing bodies milking the system to the extent of your example.
