Apart from the spelling, grammar, piss-poor syntax, excessive detail and obvious scatter-bombing errors committed, I have personally received one CV, via fax (8 pages of it, as I recall) at 22:00 on the night we lost an aircraft, it's pilot (a close personal friend) and 4 of his pax. It wasn't inadvertent: the cover-letter stated "as you are now a pilot short..." or words to that effect. We had just stood-down from SAR-ops at the time, the office was packed with people. It just happened that I was closest to the fax machine at the moment this started to arrive. I wasn't CP of that organisation, just a line-pilot, but chose to destroy the fax the moment I saw what it was without letting anyone else know what it was -quite a mission on its own. I wish now I had kept the 1st page, for no other reason than to vent my spleen at the inconsiderate little mongrel that sent it.
