David SF – Yes sir. In fact, I’m trying to get a copy of one of those photos for an airplane post this Friday. (It’s a holiday, so I thought I’d go with something lighter.)

Did you all see the last flickr pictures from markonairtran.com? Not only did he make the Guinness Book of World Records (most flights in a month), but AirTran put his picture on an airplane. A really big picture on both sides along with markonairtran and a nice ‘wifi on every flight’ message. Looks like they will be going with this for awhile.

People can make fun of him and this whole promotion, but the man did something few people would want to do, has gotten a lot of media air time, got in the Guinness Book, and now has his very large picture on an airplane. How many people can say they’ve done all that in life?

Hey CF…I enjoyed the podcast and encourage you to do more of them on occasion…not to take place of the daily blog but they would be great when you interview industry insiders and such.

Thanks!

Nice one. I think a podcast on occasion would be a great idea, but I’d rather read text myself.

Brett I was looking at markonairtran.com and I noticed the top of the home page was directing people here to crankyflier to listen to your podcast. Good going.

AC – I actually had a friend offer me a Grand Central account long ago and I never got around to doing it. I wish I had. I will definitely be watching for when it opens up again.

David SF – Not sure if Mark will write a book, but this isn’t the first time he’s done stuff like this. He spent awhile living in an IKEA store and he even visited all 171 Starbucks locations in Manhattan in 24 hours. Send him a tweet and ask him if he’s going to write a book.

Radio would be fun.

Optimist – It is downloadable. I provided the direct link to the file right below the player for anyone who would want to take it with them. I certainly agree that 20 minutes is too long, so in the future I would try to cut it down.

I didn’t mind the 20 min podcast but I’m on the west coast and see your blog about the same time as you post them, which for me is before work. I can understand people in the other time zones who would be at work and surfing the web when they should be working (not that I’m doing that right now) who may not have the time to listen or for that long of time. But people could listen to them at home or on their days off if they were interested in the subject matter.

I do admit 20 mins was starting to wear thin, but 5 mins would seem about right for a podcast. I know this time was special and unplanned so I stuck with it. Besides how many times do you get to hear an interview with one guy sitting on the toilet in an airplane. You know he wasn’t standing all that time leaning against the sink. Lid up or down, I’ll leave you all to decide that……lol.

CF – you’re funny. I agree you have a nice voice, and I like the idea of podcasts on occasion… this topic/interview subject is interesting to me, whereas some of your other interviews may not be. Well done!
