In this experience we are very grateful to be joined by a serial airline entrepreneur – David Neeleman. If you don't know who David is, you likely know at least some of the airlines that he has founded, co-founded or co-owns. JetBlue (founded); Azul (founded); Morris Air (co-founded and sold to Southwest); WestJet (co-founded); TAP Air Portugal (co-owns). David has recently founded Breeze Airways (officially named in February 2020). The Seat 1A team pose four questions to David and he shares his candid feedback. Geoff enquires when David realized he was passionate about aviation? Vinny notes David's global and multicultural leadership, and searches for that key factor that David believes has linked his successes together. Geoff asks about the unique offering from David's airlines that provide a front of cabin experience. Finally, Vinny uncovers what David's personal tip or hack is for every flight. If you have a story about flying one of David's airlines, a question, or other experience that you would like to share, please email us at stories(at)seat1a.org or find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Patreon.
