Now, the identity of "Goodie Bag Dropper" will be reveled. Or, she'll notice the camera and stop.

Then I looked up what a girt bar is- I am really starting from scratch on some of this stuff.

That gave me an actual LOL. It's 100% true!

Application submitted, but I'm not holding my breath. Since I lack a BS in Aviation (I could get one for $20,000), "at least two (2) years of airline, fixed base operator, military aviation, air traffic control or airport experience, and a bunch of alphabet soup certificates, it'd be easy to just toss my application aside. That said, the job duties in this announcement are closer to my current job than any other I've applied for at the airport.

Do you work at the airport? Start talking to these guys and find out who makes the hiring decisions. More than half of people in almost any industry are hired with connections, not websites or resumes. Try to figure out a way to speak with them- airport seminars, at work, whatever. I've worked with a lot of airport ops guys and I find it difficult to think its that that hard to be qualified as one. Great guys, but no degree will prepare you for that job. When I worked in Scottsdale they would spend half their time picking up FOD, fixing signs, chasing coyotes off of the runway, and yelling at people for parking in wrong spots. A bigger international airport isn't that different, I've worked with them in OAK as well.
