vast industry knowledge for a satisfied customer....
Not really, I worked in general commerce for 27 years, in telecommunications/IT. The companies I was with included international banking, pharmaceuticals and cargo. When in consultancy, I worked for a very wide range of clients of many different types, from local govt to High Street names. I have lived and worked in several different countries in my life, have friends and family in multiple countries, follow current and commercial affairs and so on and so forth.

Lastly, I have been a 'pax' for 46 years, but there is no specialist knowledge for, whilst a nephew is First Officer (current on 737-800) in another country, he only talks about aircraft - and not the business of airlines!

I have a probably irrational dislike for the man, though I don't know why.
That's very honest of you. Many folks in here have such a view but never give a reason.

For my part, I think that he is someone who has (as they say) made a difference in life. He has worked hard, he has made money and lost money and, when interviewed he shows himself to be normal and unfussy. He actually listens to the questions and tries to answer them, unlike the professional politician and the professional CEO who tries to say nothing but what he is supposed to say. Lastly, the man has had many public failures and still keeps trying to do more things. There are not many millionaires of [checks Wikipedia] 61 that do that. For those, and some other, reasons - I admire the man.
