Social Security Number - Airline Apps - Sa???
 
Just applying now for a few positions and have been steered toward airlineapps.com to apply.

Any idea on how safe the soc # is on airlineapps.com???

I get that is how the background gets checked, just uncomfortable with it a bit.

thanks

It's required, and anyone hired with an airline apps company has filled it out...

That's the easy part. Good luck with the flight time puzzle :confused:

Logbook pro makes filling out airline apps very easy, takes like 15 seconds.

I heard they use it to take out a bunch of credit cards.

I mean do you want the job or no? And if you do get hired, you'll fill it out about 5 million more times when you sign your life away at ground school.

Airlineapps is a scam. Another delta pilot with too much cash and free time on their hand

Can you sue AirlineApps? Especially if the person never got a job at any of the airlines he was applying for. Either way, biggest scam I have ever seen done to fellow pilots that just want to make a better living for themselves. Everybody is greedy these days.

I imagine if they allowed their server to get hacked and your identity got stolen then you would have a case for a lawsuit.

If you want to sue them because the majors have outsourced their online application system to a company which charges a fee to the applicant you probably don't have a case.

The whole system is a racket really. Regionals and their low pay, job fairs, interview prep, sim prep, not paying you full wage in training, not paying for the hotel or flight for an interview half way across the country, paying for type ratings....the whole thing is one big racket. All for the privilege of living out of a suitcase for 1/2 a month.

I am going down that path myself but everytime I shell out some more money or really think about it, I really question my sanity sometimes.

Federal law is very specific on when a SSN can be requested and what it can be used for. 99% of the current reasons it is used violate this. But the sheeple don't seem to know this...

Just freeze your credit and be done with it. When you need it to buy something just unfreeze it for a bit. I have been doing it for several years now since my old CPA sent all my tax info to the wrong address.

If their 2001-style website in any indication of the security they have behind it, our information is probably vulnerable. It's amazing such a sh*tty service can be a mainstream thing in our industry. I mean, Delta and United are big corps w smart people. The ones using AA on their end must know what a non-sucky web service looks like, yet the site persists.
