Women get hired first!!!

[TripleJ]

I've gotten this time and time again. I had a friend who is a female calling around for me to help me find some CFI jobs out there in Wisconsin. She states this job is for a friend of mine and was wondering if you had any openings.
If they did she would get the number for the company and I would call and get the info needed. Well they keep calling her back and wanting to interview her. She has no qualifications and hasn't sent a resume or anything. They called over like 5 times in a week. She finally yelled at the Mananger of the FBO...saying she didn't want the job...that her friend was in desperate need of the job and to call him please.
Well I have called them and they said we have no openings at this time...just openings I guess for women! They have my resume and everything. I don't know if I would want to work for a FBO like that!

So has anyone ran into this anywhere else????

Triple J,

If it's any consellation, women and minorites are regularly discriminated against in the industry too.

Kum-bi-ya . . . . kum-ba-ya

-Boo!

Yeah - sorry man. I don't think you'll get too much sympathy. I've personally had two different CFI's question the quality of my flying (without ever flying with me) because the instructors for three of my ratings were women.

Fortunately these types of people are getting old and gradually leaving the industry.

TripleJ,

Dude!

I guess the unasked question here is.....

Why do you have your girlfriend doing your work for you? Can't you get a job on your own?

I wouldn't have hired you either. I mean, look at the situation. Your girlfriend calls and says, "Please hire my boyfriend." You call and say, "Hey, I'm the boyfriend whose gal called and tried to get a job for me."

TripleJ-

I'm with English.

Don't know where you live, but go out there yourself and find a job.

Doesn't look good if you have other people look for you.

Just a thought.

OK, Stupid question, this guy is looking for a CFI job, If Iam not mistakin from his post.

So why this thread in the Cargo Hanger.
Maybe Iam missing something, and by the way yes you should do your own dirty work.
