I spent my entire childhood living abroad because of my father's occupation, so we were on long-haul flights all the time.

I don't visit my parents often because Delta Airlines won't wait in the yard while I run in.

I tend to live my life on planes, and I don't separate my social life and my business life.

I wanted to be my own boss. I was fascinated by airlines and how I could change travel for the average person. Then I wanted to diversify.

I hated being a flight attendant. I did it for a month and then quit.

Fortunately, I grew up in a family that was grounded. My mother and father knew how to guide my career and look out for my best interests.

I feel about airplanes the way I feel about diets. It seems to me that they are wonderful things for other people to go on.

My first ever job after college was as a flight attendant. I wanted to travel and could not afford it, so I decided to get myself a job where I could travel. I did it for two years and had great fun.

As a Naval officer, I've been all over the world, and one of the foundational lessons I learned was that parents everywhere would like to raise their children to a higher standard of living in a peaceful environment. That's a universal goal for families.

When I was a child, I didn't fly - we couldn't afford to fly. Flying was for rich people.
