So does your ASIC card pay it's way ?
Yo...
So, whats your ASIC card good for ? Last time I showed mine to a Chubb security guard so I could get a gate code, all I got was "gee sorry mate we can't tell that to anyone ....but ask the fuel blokes they'll tell you.." OK; practical uses to put into the DOTARS ASIC card info sheet: (i) a nifty little ruler for making lines on flight plans and trim sheets, (ii) an easy-to-clean spoon for eating tinned fish when you're out for a day, (iii) actually using it to pop the latches on security gates if you don't have a knife, (iv) impressing the supermodel at the Post Office when she needs ID for registered mail, while you just casually mention the word "airport"..... (v) getting a discount on chicken rolls at the food places in the terminal, (vi) a reason to talk to a good looking AFP babe about where you can get your new card holder and strap from ? ????? Yeah alright, who's got any more ? It's got to be good for something. No you can't mention anything about getting access anywhere, 'cause you may as well be carrying a $5 scratchy card.. |
Jeez, I dunno Wawa; You've about covered all the good bits I reckon!:} :ok: :D :*
|
The onlything its good for is getting rid of $130 + every coupla years:ugh: :{
J:{ about to get rid of $130 again next months:mad: |
I'm still waiting for my first one. :rolleyes:
|
Ahh ... what's a ASIC Card?
|
Attach it to a bright yellow day glow vest - and look like a WANKA!
Dr:cool: |
Gee 'Whiz',
Imagine NOT being able to get onto the tarmac at "FTZ INTL"................ Let alone getting BACK to your flying machine at BRM....... But I guess Millajidee would be OK.... :ok: :ok: |
hehehe.......they can be a little bit security minded at Noonkanbah too. the bods at Broome wanted to see it a few times, but I think they're bored there. I aint up that way any longer, so its not problem any longer. :}

wawa
what drugs are you on - there is no such thing as a good looking AFP bird |
what drugs are you on - there is no such thing as a good looking AFP bird - wondered why all the eagles had ASIC's |
it makes for an expensive piece of bling bling
|
Cheaper parking at domestic and international airports.:ok:
|
cheaper parking..............hows that work????
J |
20% off coffee at both Terminals in YBCS - the only handy use for an ASIC when you've got a 4am departure....
|
Makes you feel crappy when you see how badly the last year or so has affected you...
|

One that might have been missed ... it allows free entry to The Vic in dn ... but stuffed if it'd be coming out with me! chances of falling off a table and losing it are far to great!:eek:
|
Winter is coming! so it will make a handy Ice scraper!
|
My ASIC has a name printed on it which is spelled similarly to my own.
Close but not quite... (but for a paltry $145 you can't expect miracles eh? ) :ugh: *yes for all you security malcontents out there .......I'm in the lengthy/time consuming process of having the card corrected... |
Mine came with a completely different christian name...but all other details correct.
I wonder what checks are actually performed? |
Mine has been more use when checking in on Virgin Blue flights than for accessing any part of the security-controlled airport I usually fly at.
Pretty much what I expected. |
I almost forgot, it gives you free entry to the woolshed in Cairns!!
|
I'm curious to know how you guys found out the ASIC got you into night clubs for free. Wearing the uniform out to town to impress the ladies were you??
|
It does provide for commission-free currency exchanges at most airport Travelex or ANZ windows....
(though they still bite you on exchange rates..) |
How about 20% discount at downtown duty free?
|
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!:D
|
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... |
ASIC @ YSSY equals to no more 'random' security checks after the x-ray.:rolleyes:
|
Wouldnt your pilot licence have the same affect helifella ?
|
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?:confused:
Wouldnt your pilot licence have the same affect helifella ? Pyro:ok: |
LOL, PyroTek, you've got a lot to learn.
Expose youre pilots licence and you might get laid. Expose youre ASIC and Islander Jock will get excited :E |
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... :p
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.. |
course, but do you reckon they'd see ME as 'staff'?
they can't be that daft, can they?:sad: |
Its good for a ruler, and getting tangled in things....hopefully not rotating or moving at the time, as its attached to my neck!
Hey there we go....it is an OH and S issue....ban them! I hate the high vis vest more 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 :ok: |
judging by this $5 increase, could this mean that the price of an ASIC is increased by $30? I'd imagine someone would pull that out of somewhere, just for a bit extra dosh.
|
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. |
