He might try getting a signed, notarized statement from someone like BL, or AH, confirming the state of the company and verifying his employment period. I understand that an affidavit from an attorney might also solve the problems.[/quote]
Photos of the whip scars along their back or maybe the stretch marks around their mouth might suffice. Seriously though, they should get in contact with JS (currently at Pace). Although currently in training, he resides in BNA and I believe might have sneaky access to the records. He helped quite of few of us out that are currently in training.

I would do the same, but, I'm pretty sure it has to be someone who was in a mgmt position.
Stretch marks?
I forwarded JS's contact info to the person who was in Corpex limbo, hopefully it'll work out for him soon.
…maybe the stretch marks around their mouth might suffice…
That's funny!
Now I know why you got the job after just a few job fairs!
Then again, I know someone who only went to 1 to get hired; must have had some maaajor stretch marks huh?

And going...
HUH?
Not sure who you are but I sure am glad you deleted your original reply – personally I think that was inappropriate.
As far as the post – I was replying to Princess Akeem and was making fun of that person alone based on the stretch mark comment HE made. For some people it took a while to get an interview, like Akeem and myself and I know tons of people in our shoes. For others they hardly had to even apply and I know tons of people in those shoes as well. Since he always complained about not being able to get an interview I felt I could make fun of it because I had been in his shoes myself. On top of that, I thought his stretch mark comment was hilarious and I was gonna capitalize on that - there was no harm meant for anyone else except Akeem – and even then only as a joke. If you somehow took it personally I apologize, however it is still not cool to be calling each other names. I do however appreciate the fact you deleted your original message.
Please go back and re-read this message board – akeem and myself have been poking fun at each other for years now – no harm done except having some fun. This message post has been about C3 guys/gals staying in touch AND helping each other out with getting interviews, sharing industry gossip and occasionally about poking fun of each other – I’ve been made fun of plenty of times on this board.

No, maybe not, but we're still funny
...The last thing I want is an international cell phone!!! If I could get away without it I wouldn't have a cell phone at all.
I had heard some strange things about skype-that it can try to use your computer as some kind of node if you are online and know a guy that downloaded it and it really slowed his laptop down.
Later I flew with a guy that used Yahoo voice and he let me make a call home with it. Price per minute is about the same so I went with it and so far really like it.
Downloaded MSN Messenger (I believe they also have a voip system) and it just about doubled the startup time for my computer-I don't know if it was conflicting with Yahoo or Norton or what but I got it off the start menu and things are fine now.
Further astray... Man, I saw a pic of your new 744-F on the ramp at KPAE...Gad she's purdy!

The reason I mentioned a cell phone is someone told me about getting a phone where you can replace a "chip" (not sure which chip though and how to replace it?) so you can make phone calls from your regular cell phone while you're overseas. I am still trying to find out more about that. Also, supposedly there's a cell phone coming out which will have Skype built into it. So if you're for example at Starbucks in Singapore and have wireless connection, you’ll be able to call anyone in the US for 1¢ or 2¢ a minute (if you call their cell phones; if you call ‘their computers’ – it’s free).

Yeah, Google Talk has a similar system; I was just looking into something where you can make a call without tagging along your laptop everywhere you go.

Sure is, we keep hearing rumors about more orders but who knows? The A380 replacement still hasn't been announced. They say it'll be either 777 or 747-400s, either way it'd be great. I love airplanes that keep their rudders intact.
Btw. did y'all see the thread on the guy who tried to interview at Corpex and called the CP at home in the middle of the night? Looks like he resigned from PSA...Actually kind of feel sorry for the guy…Looks like he got some serious issues with his life…

Av8or-I know that my frined that lives in VHHH can change "cards" in his phone. Japan and Korea have their own weird protocalls for cellphones...I don't know if you can get a phone in the US that you can do that with. Verizon is introducing some kind of international phone, but I don't want one. If I need one the company will issue it!
Node=central link of some sort-I'm not sure how it works...
Way2Broke-huh, interesting but I doubt I will move to Yipsitucky! Too fracking much winter for one thing! Besides, international has some interesting rest rules if you get back to your "base". I can't imagine what it is really for, maybe there is demand for that much heavy lift there but I kind of doubt it. Course we could haul a lot of car parts at once!

What is the pay and QOL like? hahaha
Pay I'm sure is great. Quality of life is, well, short-lived?
"I know that my friend that lives in VHHH can change "cards" in his phone. Japan and Korea have their own weird protocols for cell phones...I don't know if you can get a phone in the US that you can do that with."
I think both Japan and Korea are using GSM technology which is what they have in Europe (we have mainly CDMA except T-Mobile which I think is GSM too). That's why I was trying to figure out this chip changing deal. Have you seen your friend change the card in his/her phone? Is it easy or pretty complicated? I wonder what kind of rates he/she is paying with a "local" chip. Is it still an international phone call or a local call?
"Verizon is introducing some kind of international phone, but I don't want one. If I need one the company will issue it!"
Well, I'm just trying to find an easy way of staying in touch with friends and family without having to tag along the laptop.

Let's see, I know that one of the guys has phone that works in Europe that won't work in Korea.
Did just see a guy that has Singular (sp) switch cards and suddenly he had a Belgian local number. It was some kind of PDA/phone thing.
My guess is that VOIP is your best bet rather than doing something with all kinds of different chips and the bills that go with them...
May all them what may not have something else lined up soon find a good job!

Basically, I’m trying to find a cell phone that works internationally without breaking me. I’ve been told that some phones you can replace a chip and make “local” phone calls even when you’re overseas. Also, supposedly there’s a cell phone there somewhere that has Skype built into it so you can either make phone calls or Skype when in hotspot areas. I use Skype a lot, but I hate to tag along my laptop when I go on sightseeing trips on layovers.
Btw. Would you please give me the “ad” part of your research and leave out the “nauseum” please?

I will leave out the nauseum part just for you. It works like this. I think you have Verizon, right? They have one phone currently, the Blackberry 8830 that works worldwide. It has CDMA for the US, as well as two bands of GSM for international roaming. It will also roam on other countries that have CDMA, although there hardly are any. All GSM phones, including Verizon's have a "SIM card", about the size of a thumbnail. That's what gives whatever phone it is in it's "identification" as well as it's number. Both T-MO and ATT work solely on GSM both domestically, and int'l. And most TMO and ATT phones are quad-band GSM, meaning they will work more places in the world. Most of the rest of the world uses GSM. And that's the "card" that can be changed.
That being said, the Verizon Blackberry, and any phone ATT or TMO offers will work on any GSM network (Verizon only on two bands) as long as you tell them you want that capability, which is free. It's expensive to use however...int'l roaming is anywhere from .99 to 4.00 a minute, but you keep your local number that way. At Verizon, the only way to use their int'l service is with their int'l roaming plan. At ATT or TMO, you can request for them to "unlock" your phone, giving you the capability of putting any sim card from any company in your phone. For example, if you are in the UK, you could get a Vodafone sim card, pre paid, and have a local UK number, then switch back to your TMO card in the US.
As an alternative, you could buy an unlocked GSM phone from TigerDirect, Ebay or a number of other sources, and use it only for times when you are out of the country with a local sim card.
Hope that helps. And by the way, I have a great TMO quad band Nokia I was gonna put on EBAY. Lightly used. I could have TMO unlock it if you are interested.
Dude - you rock! Despite your neo-HillaBamic leanings - lol.
Seriously, thanks for the great reply.
I will leave out the nauseum part just for you.

I see, so that sort of makes using Verizon for international calls pointless. The whole idea was to make it cheap - if they charge 99¢ + a minute I might as well keep using my Skype account which most of the time is free since I usually call my friends and family directly to their computer accounts.

Is it possible to use the phone without having it activated in the US? In other words only use it overseas with pre-paid sim cards? This way I wouldn’t have to keep paying for an account I only use when I’m overseas?
FFLS - do you realize that if you and I add up all our posts here on FI we can only come up to half the messages belch has posted!? Sure sounds like the old crew room even here on the FI huh? Btw, did he ever tell you about the fishing in Alaska?
Sry belch, couldn’t resist…you are only 22 from 2K messages!

Ask your friends if they have a tri or quad band cell phone that they plan to get rid of. They are plentiful in the US. RAZR, K1, Z600, PBEL, Samsung t619 to name a few just and many other older models. Just make sure they call their current service provider to unlock the phone before they sell/give it to you. Take T-mobile for example u can unlock the phone 3 months after the purchase. Then u can take it anywhere in the world and use your prepaid sim. Hope that helps.

See, I'm actually useful for SOMETHING.
You don't have to activate an unlocked phone in the US. When you put a pre paid sim card in it, such as Vodafone, you'll have to go through their activation process. When you put someone elses sim card in, you'll have to go through theirs to make the phone work. No contracts though, and when you switch back to you Vodafon card, the phone will recognize it when you turn it on, and you would be up a running within a few seconds. The CARD has to be activated, NOT the phone. I've never switched cards, but have used my TMO in several coutries using their roaming plan. Very cheap for in country calls. .99 a minute to call back to the states from Europe. .05 text messages worldwide, and $20/mo extra for worldwide unlimited high speed data. Like I said, I can unlock that Nokia if you are interested.
