What do you say when people ask who you work for?

[RJLoser]

In the same boat. I'd always say "a private individual" if they were dumb enough to ask again I'd say Irving Fletcher, Fletch M. Fletch, Danny Nunan, etc.

Jet Aviation Business Jets. Teterboro, New Jersey. A wealthy Eastern European customer. No, you have never heard of him.

Bye.

That is what I am saying, the way you are wording it makes it sound like you are being rude. The people I am wondering about are people like neighbors, and friends, and friends of the family, I hate sounding secretive when they ask me about my job, as most non pilots find it very interesting.

Friends and family should understand if u explain that u cant disclose the info, as should all others. "A private individual, that I'm not able to disclose per company policy" is all that should be needed.

And that always seems to be followed up by, "who is it"

which is followed up by, "if i tell you, they will no longer be private."

 

[landlover]

just say you fly cargo, that ends all questions.

 

[JediNein]

"I work in aviation safety."

You can be in full pilot (or mechanic) drag, and the only follow up question might be, "do you fly?"

The conversation stops with "Occasionally, but it's more paperwork than anything."

Anyone can relate to paperwork, thus you can continue the conversation with relatives about shuffling papers with the occasional flying to exotic locales stuff; or kill it cold with talkative seatmates with the piles that you have to do every flipping day.

I like that one. The reason I brought it up is because my next door neighbor asked me yesterday morning what type of flying I am now doing, I told her I fly privately now she asked me for who, and I responded that I really can not say. She gave me a weird look, and almost seemed kind of put off by the remark.

if it is jack bauer asking, "who do you work for!?!" a different response might be in order.

I stare at them with bug eyes and start drooling... Then I reach down low and grab myself and drool more.

It's shuts them right up!!!

Seriously....My grandmother asked me when I was going to get my commercial license..

I wanted to slap that b*****h..


Why, because I don't work for NETJETS, Grandma?

 

[CA1900]

I tell them I fly for Zombo.

"Who's that?"

"Oh, they make pretty much everything. Go take a look at their site at zombo.com -- it'll explain."

"Oh, thanks!"


:laugh:
