i am taking US airways flight from LAS-CLT-AVP. A319 then a PSA Crj 700. I was wondering what you guys think the odds were if I asked a ramp agent or other maintenance employee if I could get out there real quick and take a photo of the CRJ at CLT or Scranton? Of course I know they would have to escort me but should I throw in that im military? Thanks

If they're not using jetbridges in AVP, just take on then. US doesn't use them at AVL..

Not too long ago, if I wanted to bring someone out on the ramp, I just had to go get permission from a manager and they would give me an escort pass. I did this a couple of times for friends that were interested in seeing life on the ramp. Unfortunately procedures have changed and you must have a special SIDA badge that shows you have escort authority. It can only be done on a necessary basis meaning you must have a reason to escort someone. Therefore only supervisors and managers now have the authority.
It might be different at each airport, but I would say unless you are boarding from air stairs, your chances of getting a random employee to let you out on the ramp are zero.

Especially when you're asking an airline personnel. A few months ago I was taken onto the ramp by an AVL FD firefighter, but I seriously doubt an airline employee would have done the same.
