Still trying to hook up with LNL, eh Dick? Keep trying, bud. Maybe she'll let you in if she gets desperate enough.

O'rly? Well, allow me to quote yourself back to you...

Nice try, but it falls woefully short. I'M not one of those individuals. Thanks for playing.
You remember the saying about what happens when one "assumes"....

CareerBuilder asked 5,000 workers to choose the buzzwords they hated the most. I thought the list was interesting because I cannot believe anyone with half a brain and/or an ounce of self-respect would continue to use these terms. Anyway, here are the top terms employees despise:
•Outside the box (31%)
•Low-hanging fruit (24%)
•Synergy (23%) (This one I can’t believe. People still say this?)
•Loop me in (22%)
•Best of breed (19%)
•Incentivize (19%)
•Mission-critical (19 %)
•Bring to the table (18%)
•Value-add (17%)
•Elevator pitch (16%)
•Actionable items (15%)
•Proactive (15%)
•Circle back (13%)
•Bandwidth (13%)
•High level (10%)
•Learnings (9%)
•Next steps (6%)

This young lady clearly captured the low hanging fruit of synergy in a forward leaning, pro-active, out of the box high level mission critical methodology which enhanced the best of breed image for management. Circle back may have brought a sea change paradigm with respect to public image and just representation.

Far too little attention has been paid in the past to the clever tactic of circle back in a forward leaning posture while grabbing the low-hanging fruit.

Management has clearly earned a jaunty feather in their cap for their ability to employ all the talents of human resources available to them, boot-strapping one great success on another. How lucky they were to bring this asset to the table.

Can't we just all get along?

Cool

Is that you, Rush? Because it sounds pretty close to the Limbaughism, "Feminism is for ugly women."

That strikes me as a bit shallow, like virtually all Limbaughisms and Limbaugh listeners.

Not that I am an avid listener but he does kind of have a point. I have not really met many smoking hot feminists. Well, you obviously listened at some point so are you shallow The Pilot profession is ripe target for the equlity crowd, there are a lot of white guys doing it. (myself inlcuded in a previous life) Minorities and Women whether qualified or not will be selected first. That is just my opinion. All I remember is that the good looking CFI when I was instructing may have been nailing the chief instructor and seemed to get all the multi students, hmmm? Just sayin.....

Guess you aren't old enough to remember Gloria Steinem---one of the founders of the feminist movement. How do you KNOW you haven't met any "smoking hot feminists?" Do they wear a t-shirt proclaiming that or something? lol
I think some of you boys are confusing feminists with the crazy-fringe group (btw, every social movement/cause has them). IF any of you have wives, daughters, mothers or sisters---do they not believe in equality for women? Please enlighten me.

While I think this female was wrong for using her "talents" to get ahead, I blame the dumbass men who fell for the oldest trick in the book. If you dudes could just keep it in your pants and not do ALL your thinking with "junior" maybe this crap wouldn't happen. We all know that's a pipedream, though..... sigh

Well the way she was dressed she was asking for it I kid, I kid!!!

I am all for equality, that does not mean I think there should be quotas or lowered requirements just to make sure there are more women in a particular position. The best most qualified candidate should get the position not just the hot chick (translation: female aviator) with the rack thats sleeping with the boss.

I'm pretty sure all you guys are jealous. She had the networking down, and the connections. She worked hard for it, she took a different direction than most, i think she deserves it! Her mentor saw that she is capable of taking a spot in the G2. Obviously being a model and a spokeswoan in the past time would certainly get her these connections. I know of a girl at ERAU, that is also modeling. If you look, she is in the DC shoes magazine....also aspires to be a Gulfstream pilot as well..and knows a flight instructor that trains GS pilots..so i certaily believe she is going to have somesort of attention going this route as well...low time, modeling, connections in the Corporate aviation world...

You should have seen Gloria Steinem in her prime!
