On Friday I was asked to talk at the Royal Aeronautical Society by a colleague at Netjets.  I travelled up on the train and spent my time preparing my presentation, I thought I had it pretty much in the bag by the time I arrived.  I hopped off the train and onto a bus thanks to a great IPhone app and arrived at the RAeS at 10 o’clock.  I found the the room I was due to talk in and went through my presentation one more time.  I have a real phobia of Power Point and in the past I have most humiliating experiences and I wanted to check and check again the software was going to work.

I had an hour or two to wander around the exhibits and talk to a few people about Flight Crew Finder.  Every time I speak to some one and get some feedback it is interesting.  Everyone was pretty positive and it is always encouraging that people think that the idea of the business is good and will work.  I met up with a couple of Netjets Cadets and really enjoyed chatting to them.  I hope I will be able to help them in the future with the site.

I managed to complete the presentation with no real problems and I was a little disappointed that no one wanted to ask me really difficult questions.  Everyone seemed happy and I soon found myself walking down Piccadilly just for the exercise.  Then it was out with the IPhone and on to the bus then a fast walk to catch the train back to Chichester.

I spent the journey home thinking and working on www.flightcrewfinder.com.  We still have so much work to get this thing working but, it will be worth it in the end when people start to get jobs.
