Isn't this just so bloody awful?

Ad in the aviation section of today's The Australian newspaper. It's a Virgin Australia advertisement wanting crewing clerks. Now read this awful example of weasel words and corporate psychobabble in a expensive ad for a suitably qualified clerk.
Quote:

"Virgin Australia is again changing the face of the Australian aviation landscape. This is a unique opportunity to play an integral role in shaping the evolution of this iconic brand, and to become a part of a dynamic company that genuinely believes and demonstrates our people are our greatest asset.

We are seeking a number of highly motivated, proactive and reslient individuals to join our energetic and professional Network Operations team.

Opportunities now exist to join the Brisbane based Virgin Australia team in the role of Crew Controller. This role will see you responsible for researching and implementing solutions to complicated logistical challenges within a fast paced, high pressure environment.

In this exciting and dynamic role you will plan and coordinate the movement of crew to ensure schedule integrity and regulatory compliance, manage network disruption through the implementation of efficient solutions and ensure an unparalleled commitment to safety, team work and guest satisfaction.

Previous experience within a fast paced, high pressure operations centre, coupled with exposure to complex logistical environments using advanced software applications will be highly advantageous."

Maybe the on-going volcanic ash disruption of schedules has taken its toll of the old crew controllers unable to cope with implementing solutions to complicated logistical challenges within a fast paced high pressure environment?

Virgin Australia must have money to burn if they can afford to pay big bucks for such an exaggerated weasel words advertisement for crewing clerks.
