Crewmember Screening At DIA Could Cut Down On Passenger Screening Times

DENVER (CBS4)- A new program at Denver International Airport could result in shorter wait times for airline passengers going through security screening.

The crewmember program allowed pilots to enter the terminal through a separate line instead of the regular passenger screening line.

A pilot's employment status is verified along with two forms of ID.

"The pilots we have talked to are very excited about it, how much faster they are able to get through security to their jobs," said Airline Pilots Association spokeswoman Jenn Sutton.

Airline Pilots Association and Airlines for America introduced the program last year.

DIA is the eleventh airport to adopt the program.
