HELP WANTED: Experienced aviation director for major international airport. Lack
of assertiveness is essential. Independent and creative thinkers need not apply.
Applicants must be willing to discard all sound management practices, prudent
fiscal policies and proven accountability paradigms. Also must be willing to
show slavish deference toward meddling politicians, money-grubbing lobbyists and
others who know absolutely nothing about running a commercial airport. Annual
salary is $218,000 plus benefits...
