And that is how it works: "solo" becomes "sole", lies become "slips of the tongue" (wondering if I can use that to describe the many porkies I've told myself down the years). And the Austrian airline (co) pilot becomes a random crew member, no different from any of the other lucky "guests" she may have offered a ride to. It would be interesting to know the breakdown of those flight companions. How many A-B trips were undertaken without Mr Gritsch? That we will probably never know.
