A small query on etiquette.
There seems to be a number of airlines where the letter should be addressed to a female member of the team, but only their name is given - no rank or marital status. How would you address the letter formally?
It seems a bit cheeky to call them by their first name, and (speaking as a married man) you are risking death or serious dismemberment by guessing their marital status. I also detest 'Ms' as a form of address, as do a lot of women.
Is there an easy way out?
It's easy with a bloke - It's 'Mr XXX' or 'Sir' - and easier still if you know your contact is Captain XXXX (male or female).
Shame for the CV to end up in the bin at the opening line.
