*May* is the key word here. Jeff is very good at telling people what they want to hear.

This is spot on. I've written a few times about non-complaint issues and have received responses from folks a few levels down who had no clue how to answer my questions/comments.

Fascinating? Maybe. It does sound like he's a down to earth guy, but it ends there. Make no mistake, Jeff may give off this progressive CEO aura, but he does what he wants at the end of the day. Don't be fooled. Maybe a 1990 livery rings a bell.
