Modesty has never been one of my finer points. If you had been monitoring my posts for the last two years you will know that I am not modest. Outspoken, yes or even loudmouthed but certainly not modest.
Actually the point I was trying to make was that if I were hired as an aviation accident investigator I would have felt qualified but as a marine investigator at a GS-16 level I would have been in over my head. It was a political appointment and there were no considerations about qualification. That is why I made the comment about the guy that got the job. Hell for all I know he / she had a masters degree from the Coast Guard Academy in marine engineering.
