This is nuts. I cannot believe a hotel program would pull this sort of thing, but Marriott continues to amaze (in the worst ways). Don’t get caught giving them extra points!
New Boeing CEO’s Controversial Bonus Structure – One Mile at a Time
This is outrageous, given the conflict of interest, and it was my first thought when I read about it. There should be no bonus for bringing the 737MAX back. There should maybe be a bonus for addressing fully and candidly every safety issue of this aircraft.

I can’t wait to visit Shanghai, one of the trips I look forward to most this year. I’ll make it there for a couple days this fall. Hopefully the views will be as excellent as some of the shots here!
