There are many ads that people post on street lamps and furniture in general in Paris(I posted several here already) ; one has lost his cat, the other offers massages and the third is looking for baby sitting! This one originates from a stewardess school (so it says) and I immediately thought of a very famous visitor to this blog who, I'm sure, will recognize herself (providing she's not stuck in a plane at the moment of course!) As for this school, I'm not sure I would trust it too much, as this does not really seem like a serious way of advertising ;-)
Tres drole. No, I doubt if this school would be acceptable to most airlines. Of course, maybe a school teacher who is fed up with that might...nah, I guess not.
ReplyDeletetoute ma vie j'ai reve...........mort de rire
ReplyDeleteI see the school is on the rue Sansboeuf -- that wasn't where yesterday's photo was taken, was it? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt works the same way here, Eric. These signs are probably not the best way to get something like an education. But they can be a cheap way to advertise a bike for sale or something like that.
ReplyDeleteIs someone having a birthday?
Oops—Petrea beat me to it! Bon anniversaire, mon capitain—hope you have a great one. Your photo is funny: They want a niveau bac, and they're recruiting for students on a tree!
ReplyDeleteUmm could you hang on to the massage number pour moi? HA

It is 8:55 pm PHX time and I just got home from work (Madrid)and Mr. PHX said, "WHat are you doing, going on PDP before you do anything else?" WHAT a SURPRISE! You showed HIM!
ReplyDeleteFor those unknowing individuals who are tempted by these signs, they will unfortunately be taken by these "schools". Every airline around the world has their own program and that is the only program for them that matters. We call our academy the Charm Farm. The late and great TWA was T W A Training School....but I will get bsck to you on that one.
When my first airline went under, the second airline I went to made me go to their academy for schooling. That is the way it is, period.
I always thought throwing down a tray and picking up a dirty one would be the same anywhere, but it is not true. There is a corporate culture out there that would make even a bank teller at one bank approach things differently at another bank. I'm sure many of you out there would agree on the different corporate culture aspect if you have changed companies, but did the same job description at both.
I'm opening a "Stewardess" school also..[but aren't they called Flight Attendants now??..cough, cough..]right here in San Francisco!! Please send me a Cashiers Check or Money Order or CASH in the amount of $1800.00 and I guarantee after graduation you will be able to fill out an application for a job and will also know how to tie a necktie and knot a scarf..all prerequisites for a top notch "Stewardess"..err..."Flight Attendant!!"...can you say..RIP OFF!??
ReplyDeleteFunny you should show this today Eric as I just signed up for a "Stewardess evaluation" school, [but aren't they called Flight Attendants now??..cough, cough..] to be trained to secretly evaluate Stewardesses [but aren't they called Flight Attendants now??..cough, cough..] across all airlines in flights. The first lesson was "How to identify a PDP addict between PHX and CDG". I aced the first exam of course!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Eric! May it be filled with plenty of photo oportunities!
ReplyDeleteWhat a con! (In more ways than one. ;-)) Wonder if they also offer flight training? lol.
ReplyDeleteBon anniv', Eric.
Bon anniversaire Eric !!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great fun!

Here in Barcelona is common to find ads like that, a new way for marketing and offering a job.

Popping by to wish you a happy B-Day. I hope the stewardess bring you some birthday cake to go with the bag of pretzels. Have fun today! (And post photographic evidence of it tomorrow :-). )

Happy Birthday, Eric!
ReplyDeleteI always wonder about either the desperation or sanity of people who answer advertisements such as this. Especially those who advertise for babysitting! What mother in their right mind would choose someone off a tree?? I am very blessed to be able to stay home with my sweet kids, so I haven't been faced with that need. But, a tree? Someone has actually taken some of the information "tickets" for stewardess school too!
I agree with you Christie.
ReplyDeleteI sure wouldn't feel safe with flight personnel from this school. Maybe it's a weekend course.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Eric !
Happy Snappy Birthday, Phearless Photo Leader! Hope its a great year for you!! :-)
ReplyDelete@PHX-CDG-MAD-LHR said "The late and great TWA was T W A Training School". I'm supposing that would be TWATS for short?
ReplyDeletePHX is the greatest stewardess and the kindest person, we all know that!!!
ReplyDeleteBut today is all about you dear Eric. Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
us all :D
Happy Birthday Eric
ReplyDeleteI hope your day is everything that you want it to be.

So, do you think that the Masters Degree in Quantum Physics which I just bought from a lampost for $25 might be suspect?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, please excuse me - I have to get back to all the lovely Russian ladies who have e-mailed me and want to marry me. All I have to do is send $5,000 for the airfare!
Perhaps you would like one for your birthday Eric?
Another chuckle today! You're on a roll, Eric!
ReplyDelete♫♪♥♥[J][0][Y][E][U][X]
[A][N][N][I][V][E][R][S][A][I][R][E], Eric!!! ♫♪♥♥
Oh Drummond, you paid too much. Quantum goes for $15 on lamposts these days. You must be confusef with the former red British telephone box rate, which INCLUDES the Russian bride. I can get your money back for a small fee wired to my account in Nigeria if you want...
ReplyDeleteMichael, I tried that one, but she had a hairy back, a beard and was called Yuri.
ReplyDeleteBonne Anniversaire, M PDP. Wow, that year went fast, didn't it? Was it last year with the special FB page? Or was it... never mind.
ReplyDeleteHey! How about flight attendant schools on Zazzle? Graduate with a PDP uniform as modeled by Yuri. (see above)
But, Drummond, I think my divorce cost more than $5,000, so all in all, it would be cheaper to send the money and save a few steps.
You guys, I swear...
But, I just read a story about a Paris cab driver who returned a lost backpack and camera to a U.S. tourist in Oregon. Nice story, actually:

It's still the 21st as I post: Happy Birthday, Eric. I hope your half-century year was a good one.
ReplyDeleteDid you stick something on a tree to advertise your birthday?
ReplyDeleteYou all made me laugh a lot ;-) Thanks for all your birthday wishes, I'm trying to answer everyone on Facebook but I'm not sure I'll manage ;-)
ReplyDeleteFor the time being I have to go to bed to get some rest, I'll be in touch tomorrow.
Niveau BAC ou BAC + ? Hmmmm, OK. Seems a hard requirement if you end up being a masseuse in a back room somewhere ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the little plane though ;)
