Friday + Saturday

I filled in as road manager this weekend for a friend (Kevin). I’ve never been a road manager but luckily Kevin is a road managing genius and told me exactly what to do. Basically, I flew to Baltimore with a comedian arranged a few things, connected some dots, answered questions and came back to Nashville this morning. The trip was a lot more fun and far more laid back than I was expecting it to be.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how the airline industry will change in the next couple of years. Airports, by design, create a massive bottleneck. Bottlenecks increase friction. Friction reduces efficiency. Reduce efficiency and you kill profits. The increase in the cost of oil combined with incredible inefficiencies and you’ve got a perfect storm. Is there a fix?
