OceanGate listed job posting for ‘submersible pilot’ during doomed Titan rescue efforts

tl;dr:

OceanGate Expeditions listed a job posting for a submersible pilot on its web site while a frantic search and rescue mission was underway for five missing tourists in the doomed Titan bound for the Titanic wreckage site. Social media was abuzz on Friday after screenshots of the ad, which was posted before the Coast Guard announced on Thursday that all five people aboard the Titan had perished, were widely circulated. OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush was among the five people who died in the Titan submersible. The passengers included 61-year-old OceanGate boss, Rush, as well as Titanic specialist Paul-Henri Nargeolet, UK billionaire explorer Hamish Harding and Pakistani billionaire and mogul Shanzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Sulaiman.

OMG so that's why the CEO was piloting it? They couldn't find a sucker, er, pilot?

C'mon, this is the NYPost. Their own link to the wayback machine shows the ad's been up since 2020.

OceanGateGate?

Here at OceanGate, we're more like a family than a company.

When was the ad first published to the site? If it was there before the incident, this is a non-story.
