I have noticed one of the requirements to apply for airlines is you have to have you're FCC Radio License.
How do you get it, and how much does it cost?
And also how long is it good for?

Thanks

Ordered mine on Sunday the 7th, came in the mail yesterday! Even though they censor TV, the FCC sure does know how to get things done!
 
Their website sucks, but their service is fast. They even give you a copy for framing!! Man, I can't wait to hang that sucker on my bedroom wall.

I got mine looong before you could get them online. Back when they were free. But I like that you figured out how to scam the system. That's the mark of a true pilot!:yar:
