FCC Radio License for Mesaba?

Heard I need to have this prior to interview. Any idea where on the fcc website I can find this (not sure which one I need)?

Is this a site to get it http://www.docksideradio.com/License Application.htm ?

Its fifty bucks or so and you have to get it at the fcc website. www.fcc.gov

Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's Permit


You can do a search on here and find the specific link, the FCC website is quite user-unfriendly.

You don't need to have the Restricted Radiotelepone operator permit before you interview, but think of it this way. If you and your buddy interviewed with all of the same quals and experiance but he had his permit, who would you hire. I had mine prior to interviewing. Paid my money and it showed up in the mail about a week or so later. Just go to the FCC's website and do a search on the license and it is all done online. By the Way Mesaba is a great place to work.

When XJ calls for the invite, ask them a direct question whether it's needed prior to the interview or the class.

my friend was hired at XJ without FCC at the interview when everyone at the interview had FCC license...they won't toss your file simply for not having the FCC...unless it's required at the interview...requirements might have changed
just call the recruitment and they will tell you exactly.
You can do it on the net...it took six days to get mine...
Hope this helps.

I copied those instructions from another post where someone on the forum was nice enough to break it down for us idiots.

Passport and FCC license not required to be interviewed. If you are hired, though, you need them both ASAP.

Good luck!
