Archer submits the paths to fix the plane are to pay to get it fixed but needing the plane fixed to get the money necessary. Pam says it's a catch 22. Archer says he doesn't think that's a thing yet. The novel "catch 22" came out during the time of the Vietnam War and was used as a scathing , albeit comical at times indictment against actions during the current war while set in the timeline of the past one so as to not be so overtly political.
Various lines of dialogue establish that this season takes place shortly before World War II.
When Archer and Pam are discussing what the idol might be, Pam breaks the fourth wall to make plain that it's definitely not a gold monkey. This is a reference to the 1982 series Tales of the Gold Monkey, which starred Stephen Collins as a dashing air cargo pilot in the South Pacific. Danger Island takes a lot of visual cues from this series, including Archer's jacket and cap, and the design of his plane (a red and white Grumman G-21 goose).
Pam refers to the situation regarding 'Loose Goose' on the beach as a 'catch-22', a reference to the 1961 novel by Joseph Heller.
