Just filled out the CAL application.....

[CapnVegetto]

Wow!!!! What a pain in the a$$!!! Wanted my COMPLETE (in big dark letters) work history. Hell, I had to look up the former address of the frackin Domino's pizza I delivered at in college! I don't know why I did it either.....it's not like they're gonna call my little 2600 hour Citation captain a$$. I guess it was more or less for giggles, but I never thought it'd take all morning!

Ok, vent over, must have beer.....

Who else on this board has sent them an app? Just curious.

 

[mckpickle]

One thing I recall about the CAL application was that they wanted a copy of you latest medical application brought to the interview......How the heck is that legal?

 

[CapnVegetto]

Beats me. Hell, I never even keep 'em. Only reason I filled out the app is that it's Memorial day, the weather sucks, and I'm frackin bored.

 

[RJET]

wHICH application did you used? THe one on their website or airapps?

 

[CapnVegetto]

Airapps one. I actually started the thing a couple of weeks ago one night, got bored with doing it, quit, and started playing Tekken. This morning, I got bored again, and for some reason got the wild hare up my a$$ to finish it.

 

[RJET]

did it cost you anything and where do you get application?
I am bored as he## also.

I actually found the link on flightinfo. But, go to CAL's website and click on careers. I believe there is a link on there. If that doesn't work, do a search on flightinfo and you'll find it. Be prepared for a LOOOOOOONG boring process!! They like, want to know the exact circumference of your left nut. It's a pain in the arse.

 

[RJET]

Thanks for the info.. How much did it cost?

 

[CapnVegetto]

Free. But if you upgrade to their 'membership' or whatever, I don't know how much it is. However, just filling out the CAL app is free.

 

[IHaveAPension]

Anyone willing to help me filling the CAL app out? I haven't filled one out in awhile.

 

[knelson]

www.continental.com aboutContinental/career opportunities and it will direct you to the air apps method. You have to sign up for air apps, but you get one freebie and then you have to pay after that.

Good luck

Flamers work best when they keep a low profile. Blatant idiocy eats away at your credibility, which means even retards like me won't bite.

 

[IHaveAPension]

I'm serious about filling out an app. I'd love to go to the interview and see all you nervous shmucks fiddling in your chairs.

 

[AZ Typed]

And how long is reserve??? Something to think about before dealing with that app. stuff.

 

[Chicken Taco]

Talked to a friend that works there a few weeks ago. He said that new hires will be offered 737/GUM or 75/76/EWR as the two base options in the near future, and that reserve on the 757 would be upwards of four years. Ugh. Anybody know truth to this, or is it just speculation??

[VVJM265]

Just curious, does the CAL/AirApps system have a field to paste in a cover letter &/or resume? Also, I understand LORs, both internal & external, are done online; is that correct?

Getting all the ppwk together; still about 4-5 months before I start filling out applications and sending out resumes.

Thanks in advance,
VVJM265

 

[eglpilot]

they say

 

[VVJM265]

They say they don't want any inexpierenced military pilots!!! sorry folks !!

Hope you're being sarcastic; inexperienced I'm not. (Check the profile, btw 85% of my time is pure international.)

Anyone able to answer the question I posted...?

Thanks,
VVJM265

Could flying from military base to military base be considered domestic. I thought military base were considered U.S. territory, like embassies.

 

[VVJM265]

Nope, only U.S. ships, airplanes and embassies are considered sovereign territory, not the bases. And even if you are flying from Kaneohe, HI to Misawa, Japan, you are in international airspace working with foreign controllers. In my case, I have two tours flying logistics in Europe which included many, many airfields other than just the various bases.
