First Post guys... So I hope you like this (true) story
Never thought I would be able to give some input to this forum (just SLF
)
About 15 years ago I was working for a Toyota Dealership in the South (UK)
We had this guy come in a couple of times, talking sports cars etc and wearing a Captains uniform, we got quite friendly with him and starting talking "Shop"
My colleague was a lapsed PPL and I was a keen wanabe so we knew a bit!!
One day the evening discussion got very technical and I saw this guys eyes glaze over, it hit me like a bolt that this "Captain" knew SFA.
He knew that I knew and made his exit.
My colleague and I looked at each other, burst into laughter and made the comment "There is no f
way on earth that guy can fly"
A couple of weeks went by and I had to visit a local large blue chip company and demo a car for the MD.
Guess who was in "uniform" manning the reception??????????????
I just did not know what to say... Weird mixed up people wearing Pilots uniform and making out they were a senior Captain was way out of my league (and understanding)
