Exclamation Is this for real!?!?!?!?! Pprune banner - helicopter pilot (female only!)

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]


Looks like total BS to me!

I'm sure I saw this job posted as a PpRuNe paid banner ad.
But, hey, nothing wrong with that , this post has me thinking about a few girls I see flying flingwing .......... to the point that I am now seriously thinking about applying for a deckies job on said research vessel.

One of the mods, probably ********, is having a larf and trolling for some outraged spleen-venting.

It was pretty obvious to any seasoned troll.

Yawn........

Mmmmm.............................


I thought the original ad also said the applicant should own a tinny with an outboard and they were to send a photo of the tinny with the resume.

All jokes aside, I notice the ad came up on the "Reply To Thread" page as well as Jet Blast.

Just go into Rotorheads and refresh a few times, it should come up at the top of the page. There's also a thread in Rotorheads called "Question for the girls" http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=209978 where I asked almost the same question - would any of them actually take it seriously?

Danger

As I type out the this reply it is in the banner at the top of the page. I clicked on the link and it just opened up the email address shown in the advertisement. Must have lots of credibility as a 'group' to have an aol email address!

Additionally, a google search give you nothing except links to Department of Defense (sic) stuff in the US. The symbol they use on the side looks a bit like the 'germ' symbol in one of those new wave ET 'invasion' type shows that are floating around at the moment.

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

If the person who put up the post thought they would attact female helo pilots, they'd better reconsider. Any ad that tries to bait sensible women in that way doesn't have a chance. And anyway, if, by chance (yeah right), it really is as good as it looks, it'd be on her terms, not the boys'. Female helo pilots aren't that common (and I mean that in both senses of the word...).

The real scenario:
Iron your shirts? As if! Get back to peeling my grapes!

I'm assured it is a paid advert so I assume it's for real.

Maybe Hugh Hefner seeking new recruits!!

Arrggghhh

Arrrggghhhh me maties,

Perhaps this is an advenutre for yours truly?!

This topic brings back many a mermory of me adventures on the high seas. Spend me life searching the oceans floor for treaysure chests and gold...lots of gold. But beware lasses. Do not go blindly into an expedition of this kind. For there are many dangers that lurk below the surface......twas a dark, foggy night when i saw the beast......it was twenty foot long if it were an inch........it had bright yellow eyes, gold like the sun............

Let strong winds always fill your sails.

arrgghhh

Do you by chance have an eye patch, a wooden leg and a parrot on your shoulder?

If so, I think I might have seen you recently in Brissy!
