This company advertises in help wanted sections of newspapers seeking potential airline employees. We believe the company's advertising practices are deceptive and misleading. They are not directly or even indirectly offering employment. Those who respond to the ads and send the required fees receive nothing more than a video tape and some related printed materials with information on possible job sources. We urge extreme caution. Addresses are generally mail drops and advertised phone numbers reach recordings or answering services. Usually, no local phone numbers are listed making it nearly impossible to reach company personnel. Our experience with such offers indicates it is extremely difficult if not impossible to obtain a refund in spite of any promises to the contrary. If you are genuinely interested in an airline career, try calling the airline of your choice directly to ask about career opportunities. Complaints about similiar services allege; the advertised employment was unavailable or that jobs were non-existent, that listed companies did not exist or did not provide permission for publication, and that the advertising was misleading about the availability or earnings potential. California Law requires that any company offering a job listing service, register and post a $10,000 surety bond with the California Secretary of State. These companies are also required to provide you with a written contract which includes; basic company information, fees charged, description of services, explanation of your three-day cancellation rights, and refund rights. Any fees must be refunded if the company fails to provide at least three employment opportunities within seven business days after signing the contract. If you fail to obtain employment within 90 days, you are entitled to a refund less $25 and it must be paid within 10 days or they must pay twice the amount. The law also perscribes that these companies must have written permission of the employer, verified within 4 days of printing, that they are able to refer jobseekers that meet specifications.
