What private flying does for you?

Picture this: I'm getting nervous at meeting a very senior member of my company - its a very big company - as I applied for an internal job. With sweaty palms, and a smart suit, the interview started, and the first question was: 'I see that you fly'. Damn I thought, he's gonna think I'm some risk taking know-it-all hot shot. He asked what I flew, and very carefully I explained what a GA aircraft is, thinking I need to show clarity in explanation. Yes, but what do you fly? he asks. I told him. To my surprise, (and embarassment after explaining what a CSU is) he tells me that he flies too: and has been flying since I was a wee nipper.

I knew I was halfway through the interview when I said: 'well that's enough about flying, lets talk about me!'

Do others put down that they fly on their CV?
