Is this the guy that did the interview with @Dan?

What an art! Saying absolutely nothing in so many words!
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Happens to be this guy is very intelligent... He's probably the only guy in El Al management that actually cares, and accepts feedback and suggestions from others.

What does any of that mean or matter on a practical level? Look at the website? It's horrendous.

I wonder how much this VP for Digital and Innovation gets paid in order to care and accept feedback and suggestions, as well as say nothing in a lot of words.

At least he agrees that ELAL needs a DNA change.

Sure thing. No denying that. I didn't say that he's a good web designer/programmer. But he cared enough to make a new website. (nobody before cared about the terrible site) Just a shame that the guy who did it did a terrible job. Hopefully, they will fix the issues quickly....

How do you fix a dumpster fire?
The entire philosophy behind the redesign was incorrect.

No kidding.
I was just responding on the way he the depicted the person.
I heard from others in the industry who have met with him (face to face), and were quite impressed with the guy, and what he does.
I also don't think that he's being terribly successful in turning around the company, but he's definitely trying quite hard. (He does have a much harder job than you and I....) And he definitely seems to have more brains than the current CEO...

The proof is in the pudding, talk is cheap.
Sadly, the website went from bad to worse.

I'm not so sure how cheap it is, hence my question

And their terrible website went from bad to worse while they invest in technology to be able to offer passengers that might stay in the same hotel some sort of ride sharing. ::) ::) ::) It's about total customer experience and engagement, not just the flight.  ::) ::)

@yandmk did you actually watch/listen to his presentation in the link I posted?

Looks like 4X-EDM (with the Jerusalem of Gold lively) is scheduled to take off from PAE at 10am this morning.
After this one the following four deliveries will be 788

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Flying El Al 787 from JFK to TLV in Premium Economy. Anyone know if Row 20 (last row in PE) is close to regular economy or is there a space in between? What seats would you suggest reserving? (2 people)

There is a wall between 20 and 21

Row 17 has slightly more space but you're right behind the bathroom.
