I don't want to sound like a retrospective person stuck in the past, but the fact remains that, in my day, everything was in the hands of the driver - the gear changes, the delicate art of clutch control during race starts, managing engine revs during gear changes - everything.

We now fly with an airbus, which has 210 seats, six times the week to Palma to the spider of the air Berlin.

Running an airline is a normal job. Racing is more.

Airlines go in the long run at the competition to reason. For the passenger the competition is good, because each competitor tries to undercut the other one.

I think midlife crisis is just a point where people's careers have reached some plateau and they have to reflect on their personal relationships.

When I was younger I would go to the airport with my friends and drive out 2 A.M., 3 A.M. in the morning and just hang out until sunrise watching planes fly in and fly out.
