Can't wait for lucky's upcoming review, based on this:

For drinks, the menu didn’t include any wine selection. So, when a flight attendant came around to take orders, I asked if there was any wine available. She asked red or white, and I told her white.

If ever there was a person who should not be blogging...this is that person.

TPG is absolute crap. After pushing the crap out of his cap1 card, I'm surprised he still has any following. Do they vet any of their writers?

+1 Each post on TPG is written by a different random person that nobody has seen before, it's ridiculous.

I was just reading Zack Honig's post on the A350-1000 launch today and I was wondering again why he doesn't have his own blog, he's the only one on TPG worth reading. Brian Kelly must be paying him a boatload of money to stay on as the chief editor or whatever his position is, otherwise I see no reason why he's still there.

Ha, staff members? Try a million freelance "writers," putting out quality garbage at a faster rate than people have any interest in reading.

I think you're only able to pass on buying something that you're able to afford in the first place.

If I had an interest, I'm sure I could make it happen. Like I said, pass.

Stopped following that windbag ages ago. Anytime someone sends me a link to a TPG article, I tell them to stop, and I return the DD or DOC version of it.
