This is the most exciting passenger service initiative I’ve seen in a while. WTG United!

It’s been ok. Still missing a lot of people I hope to see join. And still figuring out the algorithms. But overall, it looks promising. Do you like it?

I enjoy watching tv shows that illustrate good #leadership attributes. One of my favorites is Col. Potter of M*A*S*H. He was the perfect balance of authority, colleague, friendship, listener, and commander.

Who are some of your leadership favorites and why?

He’ll probably take credit for β€œdefunding” it. 🀣🀣

This made me wonder what the passengers and crew may have taken from the aircraft as souvenirs and mementos of this historic last flight. I imagine cutlery and china, anything with a logo.

I do for my wife but because of her disability. But gotta admit, it is easier to eat that way.

That a grounded flight is for their own safety. Weather. Mechanical. Be safe everyone.

The Boeing 757. Worked on them for 40+ years. Just a great airplane still in wide service today. Also, the phantom F-4 fighter. Both aircraft have a certain sexiness in their design.

I’ve been around airplanes all my life. I grew up with them. I’ve always been intrigued with air and space travel.

Leadership in all sectors of society. Political, economic, familial, societal It won’t happen overnight but I believe it is inevitable. Maybe not 100% but significantly better than today.

Hello #caregivers. I care for my stroke survivor wife. 4 years now. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Still looking for ways to cope.

If you’re a caregiver, share your story. How do you cope?

How does this painting speak to your intellect? Its title is #pinkypromise.

This is something I’ve thought a lot about too. Since the dawn of man, it seems we’ve been on a deepening trajectory into the abyss of hate, racism, and a bunch of other bad β€˜isms. But to answer your question, we need moral leadership in every level of society.

I don’t try anymore. They’ve already made up their minds and opinions. Waste of breath. I only share my thoughts if genuinely asked.

It all started here in 1979 for me. Working on L1011s in MIA. The good old days.
