Applying at foreign airlines
I was looking at the online application of an airline is Asia yesterday. I am planning on applying there in the next year. (I just need to get to 1000 hrs of jet time first) I saw on the application that they wanted my social security number. I have worked overseas before, and the last foreign company I worked for did not ask or require my U.S social security number. Should I just leave that information out? I am not sure what a foreign company with a base outside the US would need my social security number for.

Good luck.

I am going to apply directly through the airlines website.
I hate giving anyone my social here in the states. I never put it on a resume here unless I get hired by said company. I am concerned about the security of my personal information in the hands of a foreign company that may or maynot call me for an interview. I realize if hired eventually you will probably have to give them everything they ask for. I just worry about my ssn sitting in a file or on some guys laptop and somebody gets the idea to make a few bucks at my expense.
I guess it's the price you pay for a shot at the dream.
