It doesn't help when the CP of HL is a moderator on AVCAN. Not sure who deleted your post but it makes you wonder why an innocent threads that mention no names gets snippered and other blatently racist threads by moderators are kept.
Nobody who works for H&L is on staff @ AvCanada. I want to make that very, very clear.
I delete any racist threads as soon as I see them. If you wouldn't mind, please point me in the direction of any that I have missed. Seriously, just copy and paste the links of ANY racist threads right here and I'll certainly take action on it. AvCanada will NOT promote hatred.
Now back to the main event:
What I am taking from your story is that a woman dressed all skanky to get a job, that seems to be the jist of it. At least she didn't offer to work for free, that would have been just slutty
Seriously though, assuming your story is correct - someone used something to their advantage in aviation eh. Good that that has never happened with a guy. Now by my tone you may think I'm saying it's not a big deal. Well I'm not. It is a big deal, and it is wrong. And it happens all the time. When it happens with a guy we congratulate them on their ingenuity in getting employment - dude was smart and got hired as a result. Then we file it away and never think of it again.
I find it interesting that stories like this are the ones that get a whole lot of publicity though - people already asking to be PM'd about them so they can shake their heads and say "I hear ya buddy, YET another example of a low-down, good for nothing broad taking the food outta the mouth of an honest (guy) pilot. Man, what
is the world coming to." Of course it is assumed that she didn't even have her student pilot licence at the time of the job offer, and that even if she did, she was a horrible pilot. She must have been hired entirely based upon the look and texture of her ass cheeks.
Clearly women weren't meant to fly. And clearly men were. I mean, you DID hear the story we were just talking about, right? Well, I didn't exactly hear the story, but the suggestion and innuendo alone totally proves it anyway. Of
course she wasn't qualified and was a horrible pilot. It's that way with all those dames, they are inferior to guys for so very many reasons that it would take too long to even list them all. The person doing the hiring was taken advantage of, and we need to protect them from future abuse. Quick question - last summer when a 337 gear'd up in pickle lake or wherever - was that a woman pilot? If not, then why aren't we second-guessing the person who hired that pilot?
Good thing there aren't literally thousands of stories involving men using every tool they have (heh - get it? guys using their tools) at their disposal to get employment, from lying about their experience to offering free labor to buying booze to bring to the interview, to washing the CP's car, to getting their dad to put a word in, to any number of tricks and techniques to land employment.
Again, I think that if the young woman in question (assuming your story is real) wore short shorts as part of some plan to entice the naiive and childlike hiring person to cough up a job, then yeah that's not exactly advancing the cause of women in aviation and she would be doing her sisters in aviation a disservice. But whilst you are championing fair hiring practices and shining a spotlight on corruption and graft in the aviation hiring industry, don't forget to shine it equally on all the corners of the room. A whole lot of guys will be blinking their eyes and telling you to point that thing elsewhere.
