LOL - No. Just semi-retirement. I am old after all (over 50) and want more time off.

I think they say 50 is the new 30?! At least I hope so as I'll be there in 8 years!

It looks like he has quite a vocal Twitter presence, yet it appears that he has blocked anyone who has ever tweeted Delta. He's all up in arms about people wanting to either cancel or change their ticket on the A220 inaugural, saying that people are violating the contract of carriage by booking a flight that they didn't intend to fly, because somehow a change of plans or a change of equipment is somehow not ok. I guess he's never had a change of plans in his life. Would I be breaking at FlyerTalk rules by suggesting that this is sociopathic behavior?

Oh yes, he stalks other accounts on Twitter and adds to his block list anyone who follows or interacts with an account he doesn't like (parody accounts, TBB, etc). The speed with which the block occurs is quite remarkable, indicating a lot of time spent monitoring for "offenders". Of course, he seems to not understand that this doesn't prevent anyone from seeing his public tweets.

Yeah I have no idea how he's arriving at that position regarding the A220 inaugural. It makes no logical sense.

I made the decision a while back to stop giving this "blog" (and I use that term verrrrrrry loosely) clicks. No audience = no $
