"Nnnno," Martin says slowly. He realises now that he's been contradicting himself this whole time.
"I, uh, do some other stuff on the side. It's more of a hobby, really — or charity work, really, since I don't get paid for it or anything."
He considers leaving it at that, but then figures that he's bound to embarrass himself sooner or later, and he may as well get it over with.
"I fly a jet for a small charter airline. Well, airdot, as the owner calls it. Just the one jet, and only one other pilot. But it takes up most of my time, which is why I need a job with flexible hours."
And now's the time when he starts steeling himself against being laughed at or mocked. That's what usually comes by this point, because who spends so much time indulging their hobby that they take a job as a removalist just to get by?
