Just when you think recruiters couldn’t be more lame…
I am in IT. I think it’s pretty easy to find that out about me. Nothing in my CV indicates the ability to fly aeroplanes or helicopters.
Either the pattern matching spamming software has gone wonky, or this dude has set a new low watermark…
(with apologies to the half dozen recruiters I have met that are anything but lame)
I have 1750 hours on Saab 340B and 340B Plus with American Eagle and
Pacific Coastal in the US and Canada respectively.Is this a job for Rex?

Oh, sweet irony…
You probably received this strange message because of an error in the *software* the recruiter was using to send the email (think of it as ‘user error’ if that helps you sleep at night).

Ummm Randall, that’s what I reckon.
But why, oh, why, are they using software instead of their brains to vaguely determine my applicability for a role? Thus the original lameness.

@ Rich: Hell yeah. I’d love to be flying 25-year old twin props around country NSW. I want to see how far I get into the process before the dude works out I am referring to Flight Simulator.

In honor of the Indiana Jones movie coming out:
“Fly? Yes. Land? No.”
