Believe it. Years ago I received a nice promotion as the manager of a Large Busuness Jet Service center. Along with the promotion came a excecutive assistant by the name of Ronda. A strikingly beautiful 22 year old young lady, which the prior manager had hired through a temp agency 3 months prior. Within a few days I had figured out that Rhonda was a little nieve. Something many of the pilots really enjoyed and got a kick out of.
My real clue was one day when I received a call asking for support for an aircraft that had some maintenance grounding issues in Ruidoso New Mexico.
I figured the best way was to send a couple of techs to Albuquerquen NM and then rent a car for a drive to Ruidoso.
Calling Rhonda in to my office I asked if she could call a couple of techs up and see if they could do a quick trip to help our customer out. I explained the flight plan and rental car requirements and she seemed to grasp the task on hand.
My concerns with her ability was escalated when she informed me that we could not send just any tech, we need ones with passports.
Rhonda, they are going to New Mexico not Mexico. Her response was yea.... I know!!! Took a moment to explain New Mexico was part of the USA.
