We need to output sections only when there is real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specifics.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role (maybe combine company description and intro). Responsibilities (the duties list). Requirements (education, experience, maybe initiative, sense of responsibility). Qualifications? Could combine education and experience. Skills? Could include initiative, sense of responsibility, physical requirements? But we can keep sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule? Schedule: we have flexible work schedules (5x8,4x10,3x12) and weekly pay. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule.
Pay: we have hourly rate $18-$22, shift differential, semi-annual bonus, etc. So Pay section.
Benefits: we have benefits list.
We must not repeat job title. Use

We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. At end there is "Apply © 2025 West Star Aviation..." etc. Remove.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines.
Let's craft sections:

It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, but we should prefer those. It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine physical requirements into Requirements or maybe a separate "Working Conditions" but that might be thin. Better to incorporate into Requirements.

But we have a Schedule heading example; we could make a Schedule section with weekly pay days and shift info. However we already have shift differential in Pay, weekly pay days in Benefits.

That seems substantive.
