Left hander, IT through and through. Project and people management nowadays, as long as it involves the internet and databases.

Sadly, jobless atm, so finding it hard to justify all the flying I'm still doing...

Leaving aside the IT skewed demographic of a bulletin board, I gather that 50% of pilots are left handed.

Throwing anonymity to the wind, here's my CV - 'cos I'd like to get back into harness and I know people are nosy enough to read it. (Also, from what's revealed in this thread, there's a pretty good chance my next boss is reading this)

Suprisingly... Flight Simulator Engineer (software mostly)

Fly big ones at work, fly little ones on days off. Laugh at airline pilots when they crash simulators.

Does it matter if a Cirrus SR22 pilot is left or right handed for that yoke thingy ?

....Order Management Specialist, which means I support & train the end-users of a complex Business Administration application (highly-flavoured SAP) for a large IT multinational (which is at the moment "merging" with another large IT multinational).

Had a part-time Military Job (light blue) until recently aswell

So IT, but definately not a techie!

Right-handed.

IT Project Manager for a well known international air express freight company. We have lots of aircraft but they just don't let me play with any of them

One more for the right handed IT brigade I'm afraid.
