Have you ever wanted a job that combines your love of travel with your love of conspiracy theories and mysteries? Well, the United States government has just the position for you.
According to a new job posting on the website AECOM, the government is looking to hire a few new cabin crew members for flights operated by the U.S. Air Force that depart from McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. These flights allegedly shuttle government and contract employees back and forth to Area 51.
For those who aren't familiar — and don't follow extraterrestrial rumors — Area 51, located deep in the Nevada desert, has long been considered one of the country’s most mysterious locations. According to conspiracy theories, this is where the government is attempting to reverse engineer alien spacecrafts and conducts all extraterrestrial experiments. Though, according to the CIA, the area is simply a testing ground for the Air Force. You can choose to believe whoever you’d like.
Upon boarding the label-less white and red Janet airlines airplane, crew members will be expected to perform all the regular duties of a steward including briefing passengers on aircraft emergency equipment and procedures, and ensuring passenger compliance with all safety regulations. The crew members will also be expected to create flight manifests as necessary and ensure security practices and procedures are followed. They must be willing to attend trainings and provide “leadership, direction, and assistance” during an emergency, including aircraft evacuation.
Moreover, the advertisement calls for someone who is “level-headed and clear thinking while handling unusual incidents and situations,” which they note as severe weather conditions, including turbulence, delays due to weather or mechanical issues, hijackings or bomb threats. Somehow, the unusual incident of running into an alien isn’t listed here.
To apply for the job one must be a high school graduate or equivalent, pass a company-operated jet aircraft Emergency Training and Initial Flight Attendant Training, and maintain currency as a flight attendant. Moreover, the person must be able to “effectively perform all assigned physical duties without difficulty and without assistance,” meaning they will be required to push and pull heavy-hinged aircraft doors, which weigh up to 80 lbs.
The new crew members will have to comply with the dress and uniform code (we’re hoping this means you have to wear a spacesuit), and possess “effective oral communication skills, including good public speaking abilities.”
Oh, and the crew member must “qualify for and maintain a top secret government security clearance and associated work location access,” so really they are taking this posting seriously.
While you’d be sworn to secrecy over the things you see and hear while performing your job duties, just imagine the stories you’d be able to relive over and over again in your mind. Or, maybe write in a novel to be found after your death. That way neither the aliens nor the government can come after you.

.... Why are two men in black suits, white shirts, black ties, and sunglasses, (even at 9:00 at night) knocking on my front door,
I’m afraid they are fro...........
Who knows, might have been a real fun job.
Turned one on Kauai as well once I looked at the cost of a house there.
Turned one “down”
CONSPIRACY PING!
This is the airport that had the gas tanker the Vegas shooter was trying to (according to police) blow up prior to his targeting the crowd.
If I won the lottery that would make a good winter lodging place. Perfect weather. Great food and fresh. Good snorkeling. Love the botanical gardens. Even the rum distillery made an excellent product.
Too bad the flight attendants won’t be allowed to hang out at the world’s largest stainless steel swimming pool!
Koloa rum is ono, we always take the "tour" when we visit. Wife will drink no other than the vanilla flavored rum. We live on the Big Island and Kauai is the only one we go visit for a short getaway.
Maui too full of mainland tourists and bad memories of their liberal meddling with the Super Ferry.
Oahu would be like going to Miami. Nice once you get out of that constipated city, but...........
I think that "Alien" thing is a cover up. I read that the real secret is that with all those exotic fuel mixtures they use in tests, the inevitable spillage poisoned acres of land. Some wag said the EPA would have a conniption fit if they knew about it.
Some years back the Las Vegas Review Journal had a series about workers out there coming to their docs with all these mysterious ailments. The docs were raising Hell because the government refused to say what those people were exposed to, and many of them died ahead of their time because of it.
Cool. I know those planes and they go to Tonopah as well.
Groom Lake is closer to Beatty.
Not a bad gig if you can get it.
Nope. Nellis
Great fiery Wolf spiders!!!
Nope, McCarron.
Nellis would have required a sniper rifle that could shoot 10 miles.
:)
Shades of far too many of my brothers dying of crap the feral gov denied for years.
Now Gulf vets are going through the same crap.
Your reading comprehension needs some work.
Scientists and top Engineers are not flying out of McCarron.
They leave every morning out of Nellis and go home every evening.
