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..

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. :}

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...

Of course you would look like a tosser, bright yellow is sooo yesterday, everyone knows that lime green is the 'IN' colour these days, except Queenslanders it seems!:rolleyes: ;)

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:

Ultralights 14th Apr 2007 22:47

Winter is coming! so it will make a handy Ice scraper!

low orbit 15th Apr 2007 01:56

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...

Miraz 15th Apr 2007 08:55

Mine came with a completely different christian name...but all other details correct.

I wonder what checks are actually performed?
