Good point on the 'jet job'.

At 450 hours, she does not belong in one. Get some real experience in an airplane that she can handle and then move up.
 
When I quit my corporate Lear job, my boss put up an ad for a LR-35 FO on climbto350 and got a crapload of resumes. One severely underqualified chick sent us a picture of her in a bikini along with a resume. Don't think that kind of crap isn't out there, b/c I've seen it firsthand.
 
We just had a gal from our school get hired as a corporate FO with somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 hours. She is attractive.

But, if you asked me, there really is no free lunch in life. We will all encounter setbacks. She may appear to be that Ferrari that zips in and out of traffic at will, while we are all trying to keep up in our Datsuns (good little trucks, btw.) The reality of the situation is that we're all probably heading to the same exit, and we'll catch the Ferrari at the next light.

And if we are heading to a different exit, then it's fine that the Ferrari cut in front of us--that isn't were we wanted to go anyway.

Patience, patience.

Hmmm...hard working and reasonably qualified. Must be fat.

HAHA. Now thats funny. However, I think you might be wrong if she is in a car mag. CFICare you need and agent? How about a friend? or anything just PM me;).

I know two guys personally who flew jet FO at way less than 500 hours, including one who started it at 260 TT (and there's also a FI member here who did the same thing).

Yet oddly enough ...

They could hand-fly the thing hundreds of miles from ramp to ramp without breaking anything within a week of starting the job, they have never given a Captain a heart attack, and they haven't suddenly just fallen out of the sky for some unknown reason after all these months of flying while completely under-qualified.

News flash 100LL ... not everyone is as clumsy, forgetful, ham-fisted, and wreckless as you evidently were at 500 hours, ya Nazi retard! :D

(You know I love ya! You're my favorite facist!)

Well, if I was CP and she had been holding a sign in the picture saying "I swallow!" ... well ... she'd just need to let me know when she could start.

:D

That isn't her fault. That would be the fault of the guy who thought she was hot and decided to hire her over possibly more qualified guys. Maybe our hormones are doing us in, and we're the ones hiring the low time, and hot, females.

Saviboy, please do not give any one a reason to wonder why a woman might have a particular flying job other than the fact that her skill, experience, qualifications, team player ability, (thanks avbug) decision making ability, responsibility, education, perserverence and outlook merited her that job!

No, that would never happen.
 
I think that you are just considering getting a sex change. "your friend" haha.
