Green Dog:
Since you have cracked the code, here is the answer. The hiring fee for a CAL FO is $28,543.90. The fact that same number equates to the sticker price of a new Toyota Prius is purely coincidental. This is the 737 fee. The 756 fee runs $4180 higher and the 777 will run you $38977.80. As soon as certified funds are received you will receive a letter of appreciation from me and if you staple that to your resume you should have access to the next class. Just show up the first Monday following receipt of my letter and tell the ground school instructors you have the Calcapt hiring and training exemption. You will then be scheduled for your IOE the following Thursday and issued all required manuals. You're right, It's not hard if you know how to play the game. If you ever find yourself in the Houston employee parking lot and see a brand new burgandy colored Prius there, It's probably mine. Be careful not to scratch it. If you don't want to pay that much for a job at CAL, I saw on Ebay today an FO job at Mesa for $1198.45 including an airport car and a Capt job at JetBlue for $5995.95 including free subway passes for a year. It really just comes down to what you want to fly, where you want to live and how soon you can scrape together the money. Good Luck!
