Yet on Jan. 23 she was sworn in with 22 other new EMS captains.

FDNY insiders called Arro­yo’s ascension a blatant case of favoritism.

“Nobody should be promoted when they’re on restriction,” one fumed. “She happened to be the chief’s aide, so you tell me why.”

More qualified lieutenants, including other women and minorities, were passed over, FDNY members said.

Can’t she just go back and re-screw whoever she screwed to get her last promotion?

Now I know why I couldn’t get promoted in the military. I guess I should have have checked to see who did get promoted.

“She happened to be the chief’s aide,....”

Is that like a “step-n-fetchit” or “main squeeze”?

SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED!

Reminds me of the old secretary joke about the one who got the job!

The one with the big hooters, of course!

Female, Hispanic, aide to the Chief ...pretty much a trifecta in affirmative action. If she was lesbian or better still transgendered she would be up for Chief

I don’t know why I bothered to look. Of course she’s black. Promoted to the point of incompetence. It’s the government way.
