Indeed,
I personally think it is better not to tell furry magnets that you are a driver. Of course they think you are loaded, another urban myth?
The problem is, if you are a senior test pilot for Boeing like me (then I woke up!) and have a bit of dosh, you have to be aware of female parasites with a golden shovel.
If you are at the bottom of the GA food chain, they won't be impressed real quick with the associated lifestyle, eg. have to save up and plan ahead to be able to take your lovely lass out for dinner.
There are many options to the above delemma for the modern driver.
I have a mate who says he works in alluminum tubing, when asked what he does. What exactly is that? Oh you know, import/export!
I have another mate who says he is pixelator. What is that? It is the guy that puts the black dots on the good bits on those naughty movies. He tells people it is hard to do with one hand.
But he really drives B777's.
Would love to hear what the woman drivers have to say on this topic. For example, do your partners, like many of ours, suffer from AIDS - Aviation Induced Devorce Symdrome?
