CREW ID

[Anthony Ivory]

I’m just starting to do research on this subject.

Many times when we are out flying for work or pleasure we are approached by individuals who challenge us.
It would be nice if we had something that was professional and official looking that could be verified. (Other than our 107)
I found this while looking for something else

What is CrewID™?​

The CrewID™ Badge and Credentialing System is revolutionizing the way the aviation community identifies themselves. Not merely an ID with a photo, but a credential that verifies in real time and provides relevant data on the individual badge holder. Some of which includes:

• Security Awareness Training
• Employment status
• Job positions for flight crews, ground crews and medical crews
• NEW!! – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) / Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) crew positions!!

Our mission at CrewID™ is to connect our industry by providing a secure credential for each facet of aviation, anywhere in the world. Whether it’s for air charter operators, medical transport crews, ground handling support or UAV/UAS remote pilots, we’re here to support them all.

What are some of the CrewID™ Benefits?​

The most recent benefit for CrewID™ clients was released in March of 2020, offering Free DHS Blue Lightning Initiative (BLI) Training and Security Awareness Training for ALL employees. Once a company has gone through the vetting process, all employees, regardless of whether they have a CrewID™ badge, are able to complete the BLI Training and Security Awareness Training. Additional benefits include:

Just seems like another money grab at businesses to train employees to me... Its in NO way an official documentation for you other than looking that way.
Its an unnecessary step for employers when they could just require part 107 certification, imo.

Doesn't say "Karen proof" so I can't see what purpose it would serve.

It's just an unofficial, official looking piece of plastic laminated paper. You could make one up yourself and print and laminate it. Its a waste of money. These will not get you in the fast lane at any airport. We have always had CREW IDs and that is the only official thing that would allow you to use the crew line at an airport. Just hype to sell their wares. Print your own if you want something like this. Be sure to put bold lettering at the bottom, stating.. KAREN PROOF.
