That said, I mentioned to a FA on a DL flight over Thanksgiving that I was GE and she tried to take the form back because GE folks didn't need them. I told her to leave it with me - just in case the kiosks weren't working. She was a bit taken aback, but agreed to let me have the form.
Wouldn't you know - we pulled into the gate and the GA made an announcement that all GE participants had to fill out a blue form because the kiosks were down. We did get to skip the regular line, but there were several GE folks waiting in line for the nearest Immigration Man. The crew line was severely backed up because not only were the kiosks down but the fingerprint scanners at the booths were down, too.
Still took half the time that a regular line would take.
