Back when I was a "professional temp" (long-term Kelly Girl), I had an assignment working for the Chief Pilot at USAir at BOS (Logan Int'l in Boston). One of my daily tasks was putting the daily flight change sheet in the mail slots in the attendants' room, and replacing the previous with the new in each pilots' binder.
You learn a lot being the CP's secretary for four months.
