ORD - chickens by gates B16 and B17 gave out gold card stock when I went to reprint my boarding pass.

EWR - chickens to the right of check in counters also dispensed gold card stock. Originally at check in counter, I was given toilet paper, but quickly went to the chicken to reprint.

SJC 7/18:
Check in and gates: White card stock.
E-ticket machines: Thermal paper. It should be noted the machines are all airline use so the thermal BPs look even worse than usual.

Ditto for OGG. Kiosks are common use so they looked worse than normal too.

are chickens stocked with both blue and gold card stock? so that if you're in First or Business, it prints in gold, but if in Economy, it prints on blue?

CWA has no chickens! Agent issued gold card stock (or blue, where appropriate). It was the old, non-bar-coded stock. He also put my BPs in a 2003-issue thick ticket jacket, the one with a Tiger Woods Accenture ad!!! The inside had the old Customer Relations phone number and references to departed partners like Varig. CWA is quite a blast from the past in some respects.
