I was thinking the same thing. Do they really think they'll get the one guy/gal in this country who actually meets their requirements AND just happens to find their advertisement? Kinda limiting their applicant pool.

I would like to know if they really do find that one guy, does he even fit the criteria of a man of high morale character and no accidents and incidents whatsover. To go from military test pilot graduate with all the other requirments they state to a cessna 404 part time job sounds like a fall from grace if you ask me.

I am not a candidate, but the SNC link is dead. Can you put something else up? Also what is the contact info and the pay offering. Someone with an engineering degree and that background will have to paid pretty well to do it for only 3 weeks. They are looking for someone pretty unique that has those quals and is still free to leave their job to do this. I am thinking it would be done on vacation time taken from a regular job.

It may have been one of those situations where they already had the person chosen for the job but are required to put up a listing. Thus they throw up some odd requirements with the hopes that no applicant will show. I have seen it done before.

Yeah, especially considering it's government contract work. There's no job here in my estimation. Even the gravy corporate jobs get advertised for official reasons before the CP puts a pal in the slot.

Very likely. And, actually, I meet the quals ...



But I'm already employed. Somewhere else.
