Aerbabe - I went for a short term consultancy job a couple of years ago and was told that I'd have to report to the board in W London fortnightly. "Don't worry - if you live near a regional airport we'll fly you down to Heathrow, save you the M25. Where is your nearest airport?"
"Well it is a small grass strip just a couple of miles from home."
"Oh but there won't be service going to LHR."
"No, but I do have a pilot's licence and access to an aeroplane and Denham is just a 15 minute cab ride from your HQ - so door to door in less than an hour assuming that the weather is okay."
I got the position and flew down to Denham for 5 of the 6 meetings!
As Formationfoto says, they remembered who I was because I could fly. Remember there are many mere mortals out there who would love to learn to fly but for some reason or another have yet to do it and may well be in awe of a babe with a licence!
Good luck. See you Friday.
