I've just finished his book on America. It was rather good.

Don’t know if he counts as a “celeb” but Kĺre Schultz (CEO of Teva, the worlds largest generic drug manufacturer) was in CW on BA275 to LAS on September 17 with what I assume was his daughter.

Certainly a celeb in my Industry. Although given his package at Teva (see below) I'm surprised he wasn't in F!

'All told, Teva enticed Schultz with a pay and welcome package worth up to $52 million, including $20 million in cash upfront, according to an SEC filing on the Monday hire. The new helmsman will also receive a restricted stock award of $5 million and two performance unit stock awards each worth $7.5 million. Schultz’s base salary is $2 million, with an annual bonus opportunity worth 140% to 200% of his salary. Under the agreement, he’ll also receive $6 million in annual equity incentives.' (Fierce Pharma 12th September 2017)

Reminds me of that immortal headline from about 7 years ago, when it was revealed that the Krankies were swingers

"Have you had hanky-panky with the Krankies"

David Walliams in T5B Galleries lounge 13 October, patiently waiting for his delayed JFK flight (announcements about a leak on the plane), whilst special services folks were back and forth to him listing alternative flights... Resisted the urge to make a life vest-related joke

I'd really like to think that it was Moses Beacon assisting him (BBC One - Come Fly with Me - Moses Beacon for non Come Fly With Me afficionados)
