I am sure a human jukebox is the ultimate authority when it
comes to airline safety and aircraft equipment reliability.
If we now could also have the votes of Paris Hilton, Hugo Chávez,
and Jenna Jameson, we'd know all we ever need to know about
about winged technology

He likes Easyjet but he doesn't like Air Berlin. Strange guy. And he doesn't like the FCT as all the SENs flying economy can use it as well (I wish).
But quite an interesting read.

edit:MAX Welche Hotels bevorzugen Sie?
VAN DYK Wenn es vor Ort ein Mandarin Oriental gibt, kann ich es nur jedem empfehlen. Das ist jetzt kein Tipp für Urlaubsreisende, sondern für Geschäftsleute, die unter extremen Stressbedingungen unterwegs sind und die einen noch mal um einen Tick besseren Service brauchen, als die üblichen First-Class-Hotels bieten. Die Four Season's ist auch super. Bei Hyatt und Regency muss man vorsichtig sein. Grand Hyatt oder Park Hyatt ist die Premium-Marke und damit habe ich gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Vor allem mit den Park Hyatts in Sydney und Hongkong. Aber auch die Park Hyatts in Shanghai und Peking sind großartig.
wow this guy is great. reminds me a bit of olli kahn who claims everyday to have the toughest job on planet earth

OK, stopped reading this cr@p after the second page.
If he keeps going to Bogota perhaps he has some other income sources and needs the private jet to get back into the US ...

From the interview:
Last time I looked, the F50 was built by Fokker, not by MDD
MAX Gibt es Flugzeugtypen, die Sie vermeiden?
VAN DYK Alle Flugzeuge des Herstellers McDonnell Douglas. Also in die DC 9, die DC 10, die Fokker 50 und so weiter steige ich nicht ein.

He also has no clue about hotels:

Where, the heck, is a Park Hyatt in Shanghai or Hong Kong?

I just wish I would be as important and could tell the world what a cool guy I am. Oh well, I need to fly more on private jets to South America. Or maybe I am just not getting it...

^ ^ If that guy (Who is this by the way? Never heard that name before) really gave some of those stupid answers (We all know, what reporters may understand and write sometimes
), he must have an IQ of the air conditioned room temperature in the hotels he stays.

That means there is a good chance that some overdosed testing of "chemical innovations" over the last 20 years may have caused some serious damage deep in the brain. Him flying first is just a way to save other pax from a potential zombie - on the upper deck he can scare not more than 15 other
