Only get backpay for rhe hours they worked.

Also no guarantee of backpay. The budget has to agree for backpay so it seems trivial. There is a non-zero chance that backpay isn't a thing.

Seems to be. They're people are quitting, not just calling in.

We got to the airport 4 hours before our flight today. We went directly to the clear terminals to finish our registration, and that took maybe 2 minutes. We went back up and checked our bags. No wait at all. Then we went right to the clear line and through the security checkpoint. That took 5 minutes max.

The TSA line was a 2 hour wait from what we were told, so we got to skip that. Our flight is for 12:40, so we’re just relaxing until then. News crews are all set up for the madness though.

We did see quite a few ICE agents, but they were standing around in groups near entryways.

I have a feeling this is going to ruin clear. Shame.

The free 2-month trial is what’s going to make it a cluster. Once people have to actually pay, a lot of people will get rid of it.

So if I sign up for Clear today, I get 2 months free and I can walk past the 2 hour TSA line? Yeah, that's going to frick up Clear for the next 2 months for sure.

No, it's an MSY and specific terminals at IAH.

Terminal E is a mess. Terminal C is hit or miss.

I've never understood the point of Clear considering I have Pre-Check/Global entry, but if its getting people through that fast I may sign up for the free trial too. I just seeing how this week goes since I don't fly until next week

Ouch. It appears that Sundays have been the worst so far.

I am flying on a Tuesday afternoon, but if this doesn't end by this week, I think next week will be substantially worse

Just went through at MSY. Took ten minutes from when I walked in and through security. Have clear. Piece of cake.

Both sides are 100% playing chicken with Easter week travel.

Yep. it is the goal of the demoncrats to destroy America. They hate America and are rooting for Iran. It's sad, but not unexpected that your comment got 46 down votes. What ignorant dumbasses!!!
