Cost could be an issue. Last time I heard talk of a clearance, it was over
$20K.

If you say so. The last one I was involved with, involved interviews and ten year backround check, $2000 would be cheap!

Over the last few hours (since the first post was made about this subject) I'm seeing data that indicates this background check is north of 10K and 3-12 months for it to be processed. Just saying.

So I'm thinking cloudroller's source is either misinformed or has an axe to grind.

Cloudroller, you're wrong. Its not just a background check nor is it special training. It has to do with government clearances which are lengthy and expensive. Everyone at NAA had the opportunity to bid IAD when it opened. Those who didn't missed the boat.

That ship has now sailed. No one got "sold out". They're simply not qualified to do the flying. NAA has furloughed out of seniority before and no one said boo about it then.

Wrong again, Ace. $20 - $30K. I've been passed over for jobs because the companies didn't want to pony up that much dough.

Cloudy has a axe to grind...guess he didn't bid IAD when he had the chance.

Correct on both counts, Sir.
