An FDNY paramedic was promoted to captain last month despite failing her state recertification exam for the second time and landing on a restricted list, The Post has learned.
-snip
An internal FDNY report obtained by The Post shows Arroyo was restricted, or barred from working as a paramedic, on Dec. 20. Her state certification expires on Feb. 28.
Yet on Jan. 23 she was sworn in with 22 other new EMS captains.
FDNY insiders called Arroyos ascension a blatant case of favoritism.
Nobody should be promoted when theyre on restriction, one fumed. She happened to be the chiefs aide, so you tell me why.
More qualified lieutenants, including other women and minorities, were passed over, FDNY members said.

She was promoted because she was his personal assistant, and is hot for her age.

Posting after reading only the headline, not the extract: was she happy when she was promoted?
did I get it right?

She’s an hispanic, and a woman. She’s only required to qualify behind closed doors. Ask Kamala Harris.

In a uniformed city system I can tell you first hand there are hirees that go to the front of the line with no experience for the job, no knowledge of the job, just because he or she is doing favors or related or friends of a friend. All others who have the qualifications for the job are passed up by the agencies devious rules and regulations the hierarchy made up over the years to protect their own.

Yup, woman. Explains everything.

Everyone here is missing the obvious. The test is too tough, and is probably biased against stupid people. I demand that the test be watered down.
