I'm curious where you got your facts and figures from, first of all. And if you're sitting on such a big pile of money, why are you worried about $300 for a passport. And if you're so worried about money, why you are going on a ski trip. Did Colorado pay you to come or something?

Before you turn this into an "I've got a bigger pecker" contest, there is nothing you can say that make anyone believe you. Even if you made more than dojet (which is possible), you won't be able to prove it here. Neither will he. Even a scanned W2 won't be legit because they can be Photoshopped. So slowly put the measuring stick and we'll all agree that your weiners are equal.

no kidding. Talk about flame baiters lol. Sticken nose where it doesn't belong for no reason as usual.

Make sure you decide to get a backpack that will look good with your uniform. And if you are criticizing my decisions, you have ALOT to learn about the industry which you are getting into. I wish you the best.

I'm not worried about money I'm just worried about wasting money. A ski trip is fun and worth it. I like to enjoy life. Shelling out $300 for a passport isn't enjoying life when I could purchase a roundtrip ticket from home to the mountains and back, or 4 good hard nights of partying with women, or 2 prostitutes, or 5 steaks at the best steakhouse in Texas, or part of a car payment, or 2 days of a chartered fishing trip, 1/4 of a deer lease, a digital camera, PS3, ipod, truck payment, 20 website porn subscriptions, you couldn't even imagine what it'd fetch in Acuna, ect. That piece of paper seems like one hell of a waste to blow $300 on when I can get it for much cheaper if I waited a tad longer.

dojet you didn't say what you made though? You came in here and started flinging mud for absolutely no darn reason at all. Inaccurate as always. So what do you make there? How does an FO get paid as a CA?

PS ALOT is two words. A LOT. But I'm 24 so i don't know. How old are you?

I like puppies!

Seriously though, there is no longer a preferential hiring practice between CAL and XJT but a lot of our guys are going over there, something like 30/month. My thinking on this is just that there is a lot of networking that has gone on over the years since CAL and XJT used to be the same company and there was a flow through agreement for several years. The only things you need to get hired by CAL are a pulse and an "in".

Then suck it! Go spend your $300 on hookers or beer or whatever and quit whining about needing your passport ASAP so you can interview!

PS
Are you SURE you checked your backpack?

How much I made is really between me and the IRS. But the years I was on CA pay rate, didn't work much. Didn't need to. ACA had the highest pay, most soft time, and best workrules in the industry. Never flew more than 750 hrs in year, but usually credited 12-1300. If you are as smart as you think and do some digging, you might be able to put the math together and come up with a figure, "chief".

You are 24 and know everything. Maybe you can tell me how I got CA pay rate. Maybe if you get hired at an airline, you can learn about CBAs's. Especially witholding, involuntary seat lock, pay protection, and invlountary displacement

I didn't say I knew everything. I was asking if they'd accept something besides a passport. I didn't know if they were doing it for TSA requirements when can use a passport or birth cert. You're just off on some retarded tangent.

And yes. 2 hookers is a wiser investment for $300 than a passport when if I waited I could get one for $100
