Edit: I did years of cool **** flying in the military, I flew CRJ’s for a regional, and worked at a LCC before getting to my destination airline. The only people that know about any of that are family and friends. Happy to keep it that way.

But you're bascially saying it's ok for someone to come off as a complete bag of feminine hygiene product on their social media, yet be a normal soclially adjusted person face to face.
And you don't see a problem with that?
If people want to get on the train of "read his book, check his instagram, they're so inspirational!!!!!!!"
Would you NOT be surprised if people came away with a differnt opinion?
