Wow, the word sure got out in a hurry -- a couple of applicants have already e-mailed their CV.

I used to have my Dad's copy, dating from 1940 or thereabouts. I seem to remember that for every condition untreatable with what was available in the First Aid cabinet the reader was advised to go to the Radio Officer and request that he send for assistance over the ether. That would work on GDII, we have several Radio Officers on board. They can usually be found in the close vicinity of the PAX Lounge.
