I'm amazed that as I write, 63% of forumites are IT'ists. I'd have guessed at around a third, max.
And who said IT wasn't what it used to be?! You lot are clearly doing pretty well by it!!!

Actually, there are 50 who responded over 3 years that they work in IT out of 10,255 members. That is about 0.5%. Hardly any geeks at all.

Or the fact that the population of flyer forumites is not representative of the uk. pilot population and the respondents to this thread are self selected, make us unable to draw any conclusions as to the number of IT bods on the forum or in the pilot population as a whole.

No, but as others have said, it reflects their general observations at flying establishments.
