- Answering phones you’re not paid to answer
- Pushing wheelchairs because Delta can’t figure out how NOT to strand passengers at the jet bridge
- Flying fatigued because they don’t want to disrupt Delta’s passengers
- Solving catering snafus
- Fixing other peoples’ problems on Flight Family

Or winter is coming. Simple Flying is covering this crisis situation breathlessly as if their reporters want to get on MSNBC. The Points Guy is racking up the points to get on CNBC. You get the picture.

I have been following the news very closely. I have a side gig in which I do some consulting regarding geopolitical issues. I’m intimately familiar.
All the items that you mentioned are very real; however success in the global economy is a lot like out running a bear (figuratively?) you don’t have to be faster than the bear, just faster than those around you.
I am no fan of American fiscal policy and I think even our monetary policy is still too accommodative, however it’s much better than Europe and significantly better than China. The strong dollar is just the market reacting to where the safer policies are. That strong dollar will translate to significant opportunities overseas which is very good for a business that moves people.
But I digress, I’m ready to strike and I’m ready and prepared for a long one. I know the company can’t go that long though, anything over two weeks and the C-suite would be gone.
