..... searching for female helicopter pilots?

[MrBernoulli]

This a.m. I came across this ad, on the PPRuNe site. It seems to be one of the randomly circulating ads on this site and has appeared again as I write this! The text in bold is as per the ad - I have not tinkered with any of it:

The Strategic Defense of the Environment Group, Inc.is searching for female helicopter pilots to be on a 207 foot research vessel. We will be extracting a pirate sunken treasure off the coast of Peru. And will be on the seven seas. Robinson R44 Clipper with pop up floats aboard, with helideck and helicopter garage. A pilot-mechanic would be a super plus, but not mandatory. Please send resumes to [email protected] ([email protected])

Is this for real, or a wind-up? Seems terribly sexist as well as poorly written. Anyone know anything about this one or care to comment?:confused:

It's probably not illegal. Probably would only be illegal if male pilot was stipulated. :mad:

If they are doing research on 207 feet one of the pilots will have to be one legged (or three legged). I’ll be impressed if they find the required quota.

I'm still waiting for an advert requiring the hiring of a male pilot, on all all-female Swedish volleyball suntanning research ship. :E

Maybe Mr B could pay for such an advert, and then share the applications with us.

There I was thinking it was you looking for a female Heli Pilot Mr B !!

Or are you looking to change jobs already, thinking a sex change may help in the job market ?!?!?!

Ere - did you know that the average man has less than 2 legs...?






(well, there's a quite a few people in the world with less than one leg, or none at all, but how many have three or more...? You do the maths.... :E )

Maybe the Big Girl's Blouses of the Teeny Weenies could substitute for the female pilot.:ouch:

For the one legged bloke, take Southside, as he id most definately not all there.:)
