Either something happened to him or (more likely) he just doesn't want to show the instagram crowd the reality of the airline industry, from "everything is great" to "oh we're parking 600 airplanes and cutting 70% capacity." Why not make an instagram post showing a 1 month unshaved beard talking about not flying anymore and getting 30 hrs pay and how that is different than times in the past when people were furloughed with 0 pay? Give the gut wrenching reality. Not the overly top stuff he's got going on.
Covid black swan has definitely humbled a lot of people, that's for sure.
Yeup... I agree with everything you said, but that’s social media for ya. Someone a long time ago decided only posting highlights of your life to flex wasn’t the most ass clownish thing ever, and everyone decided to follow. He fits right with Instagram standards.
Btw, he still posts on his Instagram story. Usually it’s an email directly from Ed Bastion to his employees. Obviously he wants to make sure everyone still knows he employed at delta....
