You're talking about my photo which was added on March 22nd.
On the priority guidelines, it says:
- Priority screening is given up to 24 hours after the first photo was added.
Was it in the queue within 24 hours of my shot being accepted? I know the screeners adhere very strictly to 24 hours on the dot. Not a minute over..
Just for a more exact frame of time reference:
My AZAL shot was added on 3/21 at 2122, date and time being local.

Hey Dylan,
I had gotten the departure at 0925ish local and had it uploaded by noon so I was safely within the 24hr period. Additionally, a similar Air Europa shot was deprioritized since my initial post.
As mentioned above, first world problem, not a big deal. Great job catching the arrival, and I’m glad at least one of us isn’t getting deprioritized. No offense to the screeners as well, I know how hard they work and I’m sure whoever deprioritized it is simply trying to follow their rules/directions. There’s no such thing as a perfect screening system after all.
So I’m just asking that the rules are clarified for everyone to avoid inconsistencies going forward.

We can't dispute you're right. It has been there a bunch of times before. That said, this image is the first photographed visit of that model by the operator to AMS which means it received priority screening in line with our rules.
Please note: Photographed visit not just a visit is why it received priority
FLJ wrote:Hi PanAm_DC10, last year a uploaded a 77W of Egyptair at AMS (an upgrade from the regular 737s - COVID-related). There were no other photos of an MS 77W at AMS in the database yet, so I uploaded it with priority. However the upload was deprioritized, but it I read your response it should be screened with priority right? Or am I missing something here?
Kind regards,
Joost

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your reply. Would you be able to comment on photo ID 6462127 and 6462129 which were deprioritized? I mentioned in the remarks that it's the first (photographed) visit at my local airport for this airline/model combo and yet they were deprioritized for an unknown reason.
Kind regards,
(the other) Joost

I think the website is missing an opportunity on a hot new item that would be a surprise for many, as it hasn't been officially announced by the airline yet.

If the first model/operator visits at an airport qualifies for priority, I'm not quite sure why my Citilink A339 (6522707) was deprioritized. It was not only the first visit of a Citilink A330-900 to KEWR, but the first visit of any Citilink aircraft to the entire United States, as they have no scheduled service to North America. That was definitely "the talk of the town", and one of the rarer NYC catches in recent history. There was even a post about it made here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1463847 -- highlighting the rarity of a Citilink plane crossing the pond.

Hi Cary,
It appears to have been deprioritized in error. The image has now been screened.

I agree and your image has been screened.
Please note the HS are working on defining the priority guidelines for the acceptance guide to be updated. The priority team will be included and any from the community in a new topic we will create.
We're updating our crew emails so communication is poor for a few days. Should any members of the community have priority questions they'd like clarification on please let us know with a forum post.
We're aiming to be as transparent as possible and in no way will we allow any quality standards to be lowered. Boneyard Safari were masters of manipulation demanding priority for a 10cm decal we're not going to tolerate their quality reduction standards anymore.
Regards
Paul
