there are some things that bother me about this job spec.....


'regularly required to sit for long periods of time'..... got that right

'talk or hear'........... surely both would be an advantage?

'occasionally required to stand; walk'............... pushing the bounderies now

'kneel, crouch or crawl'.... does this mean "assume the position to be 'butt f**k'd", and is crawling really a required skill?

Surely this has been worded so that our distant cousins don't get the wrong idea about the job.

More likely to stop any body from suing some one just in case they have to do some thing that's not quite as per the description. screwy:

I mean, who on earth would let some one sue a fast food chain because they burned them selves by spilling coffee whilst driving. Didn't that person ever drink coffee before. dunce:

Lighting fuse now..... clap:

I spent some time at this training center a while back. Nice facility, new, great people and great area of England. Great 17 century pubs close by. They even have a nice private lounge for the sim techs, unless they are trying to keep them from mingling with the pilots. Anyways, I would recomend the place. :winkie:
