Show it at Sydney tower and they waive the $35 entrance fee... the thrill wears off after awhile though...

Also good for any crew bar in SIN, HKG etc etc... discounted drinks, free food, yada yada yada...

Doesn't work for 'upgrades'on Virgin.... I practically had to twist the girl's arm to let me sit in a spare exit row seat... knowing full well they needed minimum 2 in each row... she came back and let me move Get in quick and it's yours.... didn't flash the card for that though, it's just a bit sad. I do carry it when SLF-ing... just because you never know whose help you might need, fellow crew helping crew and all that jazz

And we all know that ASIC (as above) are not useful for anything!

Di-Vosh, in answer to your question, having not been on the -400 for about 3 years now, I have to rely on my spies. And they advise that is still very much the case on most occasions.......

I don't think that said chick would be to impressed when she asks "What type of plane do you fly?" and I reply with "A 35 year old Cessna - but only when I can afford it"
I just say I fly a white one, really narrows it down

I have a pet pair of Cockatoos, they have a lot of fibre in their diet, sometimes I have trouble getting the cocky crap off the bottom of their cage, the ASIC card takes it off nicely.

Good for discount at most terminal shops at SYD/MEL, etc, and in DF Shops at Hong Kong Generally 10%, you only have to ask, they can only say Yes or No. Works for me

povopilot,

havent had to use it as ID to get in... how old do I look then

Nice little discount on the booze in a few small places though, and yeah, please tell me you dont do that....

and worked nicely to get me out of a speeding ticket as you mentioned, cop had a look, asked about it, went off, came back, and said "slow up next time huh" with a little grin...

A Mate of mine recently got a discount on a pair of Ray-Ban Aviators.. he figured he'd have a go at asking.... 15% off

Never hurts to try... (to an extent)
