Yup, good'ole RJ Fred.

For those reasons, I make the personal choice of avoiding working to/from Africa, but I nonetheless might want to visit it once or twice in my lifetime. I don't think I'm being a bigot when I list "Avoid ACC, DKR" in my bidding priorities.[/QUOTE]

Just use the Avoid Ebola or Avoid Malaria bid command. Careful using the Avoid Deadly Disease command as it eliminates almost every layover in the system. :)

Sounds like you are underestimating it. It might be like the flu for people who live in those areas, because they have developed some immunity. But, for those who haven't, it's not something you want to mess with.

A glaring statistic contained in the link below: In Africa, one child per minute dies from malaria.

I'm not saying people shouldn't go, but I do suggest people take it seriously


WHO | Malaria

The reason one can say with convinction that he fat-mouthed his previous employer, is that he didn't have to diss Delta in order to compliment Target.

Was he said was not particularly egregious, by the standards of the current batch of executives, since class and discretion are now subordinate to gratuitous gossip.

In interviews he says he takes Ambien (prescription drug for brain disorders and insomnia) and washes that down with alcohol to fly. Call me a prude, but IMHO if a passenger states they are abusing drugs they probably should not be on the airplane, or in the Executive Suite. Just a guess that he wasn't a good fit for Mr. Anderson's team.

Good riddance.
