Thank you SplitS....I've tried to tell him that! It has sexual overtones! GAY (not that there is anything wrong with that, you understand,)

I would like to say you have to be able to read and write properly.

But that would be lying

Make sure you have:

* clean and polished conservative dress shoes
* well-groomed hairstyle
* cleaned and trimmed fingernails
* minimal cologne or perfume
* no visible body piercing beyond conservative ear piercings for women
* well-brushed teeth and fresh breath
* no gum, candy, or other objects in your mouth
* minimal jewelry
* no body odor

Finally, check your attire in the rest room just before your interview for a final check of your appearance -- to make sure your tie is straight, your hair is combed, etc.

Good luck!

And wear a short black leather skirt. At least two sizes too small!

One would expect smart a$$ comments from most on this site, but from the moderators. Pretty much shows how profesional the moderators want this site to be. Go ahead fire the shots back about take a pill already, but not one straight answer from the moderators that's truly sad.

AvCanada asks you to be a mod.

Aviation is a funny little industry, I would hazard to guess many of the moderators and users of this site interact with eachother on a professional level on a daily basis. This board serves as a spot to come chat about our industry, share a laugh and gain some insightful information along the way. I feel this board strikes an excellent balance between information and entertainment. THis comes from both moderators and (most) posters alike. If you want the moderators to behave like the gestapo, not only are you in the wrong country, you're in the wrong industry. I suggest you lighten up and relax. You'll live a whole lot longer.

So, ummmm godscrazy, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you on that.

I've heard rumour that Desksgo has slept with at least one mod on Avcanada...

Moderators are no different than anybody else on this site. We like to joke, make fun, whine, complain, be stupid and are opinionated just like everyone else. I'd say people who expect the moderators to post any differently than the general population on this forum, has the wrong ideas about who a moderator is.

The only thing we do is watch out for
i) Spam
ii) Racist comments
iii) Someone who names names
iv) Threads posted in the wrong forum, and it is moved to the appropirate forum.

The owner of the forum, who goes by the username AvCanada, approached us to be moderators since we frequented the boards often to be able to catch these things fairly quickly after they are posted.

I'd say if there's any more information you want to know regarding moderators or moderating, you should talk to AvCanada via Private Message.

its BORAT!

Borat is one of the characters that comedian Sasha Cohen plays on his show The Ali G Show. he had a british tv show that lasted for a few seasons (until the entire country realized who he was a began declining interviews with him) and a current version that still aires on HBO.

he basically uses a couple different characters to interview people who think it's legit... except he's just making fun of everything. like one episode he was interviewing Buzz Aldrin.. he asks him if he's jealous of "louie armstrong" for being the first man on the moon, whether man will walk on the sun even if it's in the winter "when the sun is cold" and at the end of the interview he signs off by saying thanks to Buzz Lightyear (while he's still there sitting next to him)!

borat is a character from Kazakhstan and when he interviews people he uses this thick accent and always relates things to life in Kazakhstan with some rather unusual anecdotes.

needless to say his show causes a lot of controversy.. his borat character almosted caused a riot at a rodeo http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6821600/

you can check out some short clips of the show on the hbo website http://www.hbo.com/alig/video/

I wouldn't want to be a moderator. I'd be on here wasting even more time than I do now!

Deskgo No were did I ask for the gestapo, how hard was one straight answer. They are asked to become a moderator. Now go ahead and have your fun. You beleive this is an informative site so what was so hard about giving an informative answer.

Shoot that just reminded me. Do you guys remember the show Three's Company? Who was your favourite landlord? Was it Mr. Furley or Mr. Roper? I always have such a tough time choosing.

But I do like the theme song a lot. I find it infectious.

Come and knock on our door.....
We've been waiting for you......
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his,
Three's company too.

Come and dance on on our floor......
Take a step that is new.....
We've a loveable space that needs your face,
Three's company too.

You'll see that life is a frolic and laughter is calling for you......
Down at our rendez-vous,
Three's company, too!!!!!!
