If Alamo City sports teams and colleges along with H-E-B<\/a> can have mascots, why not our airport? <\/p>\n

Turns out San Antonio International Airport officials are looking for outgoing folks to bring a new mascot to life. <\/p>\n

Those interested in the gig should be between 5-foot-10 and 6-foot-1 with a thin, athletic build, according to airport\u2019s online job posting, and naturally, prior mascot, cheerleader or street team experience is a plus.<\/p>\n

So, exactly what kind of costume will applicants be expected to don? Are they expected transform into Becky the Baggage Handler, TSA Tomas or Cindy at the Cinnabon Counter?<\/p>\n

Wish we could say. <\/p>\n

Apparently the identity of the SAT mascot is still under wraps, since officials haven\u2019t unveiled details other than the basics outline in their casting call. <\/p>\n

While the concept of an airport mascot may be new in San Antonio, it appears SAT is playing a game of catchup. Airports mascots greeting U.S. travelers now include Phoenix Sky Harbor\u2019s Amelia the Airplane, Fresno Yosemite International Airport\u2019s Gordo and Seattle-Tacoma International Airports Jett the SEA Otter.<\/p>\n

Those interested in repping San Antonio International as mascot should send a resume and headshot to SATevents@sanantonio.gov<\/a> before 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17.<\/p>\n

Who knows, daily TSA pat-downs could be among the free perks?<\/p>\n
