Unfortunately YYCcrew, TC will not publish the security notices. Talk to your union security rep, they should have received a copy from TC.

I've used mine across most canadian airports without no uniform and have had no problems. I've tried this at YVR,YYC,YEG,YXS,YYZ,YOW so far.

Even if I was going to be stopped I would just explain to them that I'm on my way to work, it's not lying... if I'm vacationing I'm coming back home to go to work :lol:

Who's to say a dead head is to be done in uniform :rolleyes:

Good luck every one!

I use it everywhere I can (when travelling by myself). If stopped, i show them my RAIC, and off I go. This is in civies (off duty) or on duty (with/without uniform). In Canada and overseas. I have been questioned plenty, however never denied.

Wish I could say the same about my experience with the ladies... :(

Indeed! What good spirits the city of Halifax imparts on my soul evaporates as I navigate past the airport staff at YHZ. My guess is they have a immeasurably shitty management. No other explanation makes sense. Their performance improves Canada Customs' popularity.

Actually ILB, I found Canada Customs in YHZ to be worse than normal as well :shock:. Very puzzling.

Intersting. I'll try this next time I go through a major airport. I'm assuming the "RAIC" is the standard issue airside pass for workers at major airports? Any AMEs tried using the security pass go get in the nexus line?
