The mystery of the cover letter
- Dear SIR/MADAM—You asked for a short cover letter to accompany my application to work
- in your sales department. I could spend time telling you that your company is the one place I
- have always wanted to work. I have named all of my pets after your various product lines. I am
- grateful just to be given the opportunity to be rejected by you.
- Or I could use up precious words exaggerating my experiences and skills. To pick out just
- a few, in a previous role I quadrupled the annual revenues in less than three minutes. I have
- lived in all of the world’s most important emerging markets, and speak fluent Mandarin, Hindi,
- Spanish, and Portuguese. I can ___ (sing) in all these languages, too. In my spare time, I like
- to meditate, kickbox, and teach underprivileged children how to read. If I am extremely busy, I
- do all three of these things at once.
- Or I could devote paragraphs to describing my problem-solving credentials using the STAR
- method that your own website says is a crucial part of your interview process. As an example, I
- previously worked for a chickpea distributor in Alaska. A colleague was underperforming badly
- and I was asked to mentor him. I transformed his numbers and he became the best-performing
- salesperson in the entire chickpea industry. As a result, the bastard was promoted to run the
- department and I find myself looking for work.
- Or I could tell you more about my character and values. I am passionate about everything.
- I have a growth mindset: growth means more to me than anything (That’s a joke, code for
- showing that I understand that work should be fun, too.)! I am extremely resilient: this is the
- 435th cover letter that I have sent out in the past month, even though your company is the only
- place I truly want to work.
- Or I could just use this letter as an excuse to repeat keywords from the job advertisement
- for this position. In fact, that’s basically all I have been doing so far, with the exception of
- “chickpea” and “bastard”. Passionate, problem-solving, purpose? Tick. I smuggled “code” in
- there, too, as a subliminal signal that I might be able to program.
- Or I could ask what the hell is the point of me writing a cover letter at all? If the idea is to
- prove that I am willing to put in extra time, then ChatGPT has reduced the effort of writing a
- generic cover letter to almost nothing. I know you have to filter people out somehow. But
- wouldn’t getting us to do some kind of aptitude or personality test tell you more about my
- candidacy?
- I can ___ (make) all of the same boasts in the CV you also asked for, and on LinkedIn
- (where I may be less likely to make things up). I have followed all of the usual advice on cover
- letters, as has almost every other applicant. The only defensible argument that I can ___ (think)
- of for requesting a cover letter is that you might stumble across a candidate honest enough to
- tell you what they think and memorable enough to warrant an interview.
- I look forward to meeting you in person soon.
- Yours sincerely, Frank Lee.

Better Aircraft Maintenance Management
The fundamental purpose of ETLs/ELBs — let's call them ETLs for convenience's sake — is to improve the quality of aircraft monitoring, maintenance, and repair management. On all of these points, ETLs definitely hit the mark. "There are numerous benefits for both airlines and MROs to incorporate an electronic tech log for maintenance" Clancy told Aviation Maintenance. For one thing, ETLs support the recording of real-time data such as the entry of flight hours, cycles, defects/ MEL items, and service log data. For another, this maintenance data can be accessed quickly and easily by authorized personnel, even while the aircraft is in flight. Taken together, this real-time data can be used by MROs to accurately schedule maintenance, optimize the coordinated availabilty of technicians, and provide complete transparency regarding tools, parts and warranties. In the repair shop, this improved planning process allows for simplified control of line items, decreases the risk of wrongly replaced parts, and enables faster turnaround times. As well, "the CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization) department is informed of the ideal times to perform tasks," said Clancy. Meanwhile, "it is always possible to see if an aircraft is serviceable but not released."

"It is the first component in the engine core. It is made up of fans with many blades and attached to a shaft. It squeezes the air that enters it into progressively smaller areas, resulting in an increase in the air pressure. This results in an increase in the energy potential of the air. The squashed air is forced into the combustion chamber." This excerpt is about

Mount Everest's highest camp is covered in garbage that will take years to clean, according to a Sherpa who led a cleanup team. Since the first ascent in 1953, many climbers have left trash behind. The Nepal government-funded team removed 11 tons of garbage, four dead bodies, and a skeleton during this year's climbing season. Ang Babu Sherpa, the team leader, estimates there might be 40-50 tons of garbage still at South Col, the last camp before the summit. The trash includes old tents, food packaging, gas cartridges, oxygen bottles, and ropes. The garbage is layered and frozen at 8,000 meters altitude. Although recent rules and awareness have reduced new garbage, most of the trash is from older expeditions. Cleaning is difficult due to harsh weather, low oxygen levels, and the garbage frozen in ice. Of the 11 tons removed, three were decomposable and taken to nearby villages, while eight were transported to Kathmandu for recycling. The oldest item found was a battery from 1957.
