Brock_Landers 17 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think what the original ad meant to say was "do you have a sense of adventure and a sense of humour". If you couldn't figure that out then you shouldn't be applying anyway. B 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batiskaf 38 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 8 hours!? I thought it was 8 inches! okay, okay, for those of you who lack sense of humor, I am JUST KIDDING! it's 7 inches in fact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jullian 27 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Perhaps, Seeker could find a large oil company forum to voice his opinions on. Preferably one that does not allow humor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swamp76 10 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I am hoping Seeker is just a troll stirring things up and not really in the position he claims. Otherwise, based on the posts, I'm very disappointed in the industry at large. The ad was well written and humorous. Almost made me want to throw in a CV and see what's up!

Iceman 110 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Joke or not It's an insult. A good outfit will put more emphasis on your attitude, and if you fit in the company culture. Rather than being their *****. Edit: Sorry I can't find the post anymore that I wrote this in responce to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batiskaf 38 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Iceman: are you referring to this post? I find it funny that offence was taken by that add when the following add was also posted. An opportunity currently exists within our company for a highly skilled, highly motivated 100 hour pilot. You must: Be willing to relocate B e willing to work for very little pay Be willing to work long hours Be clean, tidy, friendly and approachable Duties will include, but will not be limited to: Shovelling Sweeping Mopping Cleaning Pumping fuel Greeting customers Loading customers Briefing customers Preference will be given to Journeyman Carpenters, Plumbers, Mechanics, Electricians etc. Send resumes to Jeff: operations@kvheli.com No phone calls please. Or for better results, stop by our hangar at the Nelson BC airport and pick up a broom, mop, shovel or toilet brush. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iceman 110 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yes thank you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lunchbox 57 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Let me put it another way. A company has an accident, where a customer is killed. The pilot survives, but is found to have alcohol in his blood. The insurance company refuses to pay, and the pilot is charged with criminal neglegence causing death. So who do you think is going to be charged as an accessory to criminal neglegence causing death? Hint: the answer can be found by looking at Supreme Court Rulings in Canada! Considering all the other requirements in the add, the person that gets hired would likely have far too much common sense to be flying around with alcohol in their system. Additionally, the operator should be commended for making multiple references to proactive problem solving and encouraging employee input. Far too many employers (in any line of work) discourage those kinds of behaviour... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RTR 7 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Safety Officer for a large oil company eh? Drug and alcohol abuse is more rampant in the oil and gas industry than most other industry sectors I would hazard to guess. So I can see your misguided opinion at least. Sometimes I think that more than flying your crews we are actualy just running drugs for you. I found the Ad humorous as intended, and not the least bit promoting drinking and flying. Sometimes a cigar is just that,...a cigar. I recommend you police your own before you attempt to understand or police the neighbors. You have a lot to work with there already.
