Default Missed call, area codes we care about!

Ok, it's at least mildly pathetic but I'll 'fess up anyway. It feels like the pace of calls has picked up for guys getting interviews and there isn't a whole lot worse than a missed call from a mysterious area code. I was hoping people could post area codes for airlines who have called them for interviews.

I missed a 505 area code call yesterday, no message, and no friends from there. I Googled 505 which came back as Albuquerque so I'm assuming false alarm. Sure would be nice though, to know who my targeted area codes are .

Default probably telemarketer

Or debt collector. Do you owe Walter White any money?

Maybe this isn't the best time to be screening your calls?
If it isn't your dream job calling you for an interview - - hang up.

Make sure to drop a few f-bombs as well, to ensure they stop "bothering" you.

Walter White? He's dead! Now if Heisenberg calls I'd start finding ways to get him his money!

What if he knocks on your door? HE is the one who knocks!

Heisenberg lives!

I received a call from the Chicago area two days ago. I was hoping it was UAL. It was a company offering to lower my interest rates on my credit cards (I have no balance on any of my cards).

In retrospect I'd have preferred a call from Heisenberg over a telemarketer.

Nah, more just a habit of leaving my phone on vibrate so it doesn't ring during brief/debrief. Besides, from all I've heard they will leave a message.

I am in the air so much I have missed these phone calls nearly every time. I will not pick up my phone while flying people that pay me to fly them around.

I wonder if that's had anything to do with the times I haven't received offers.
