My experience enables me to select the very best pilots in the market.

I see myself as the mind of the business which takes care of every last detail; if you do not do this you cannot be fast enough.

You have a brake in your brain that stops you doing stupid things. The older you are, the earlier that brake comes on. When you're 20 you stop at nothing; when you're older you're cleverer than when you're 20, so your brain brake operates more often!

Ultimately, an aircraft owner does not want to have to deal with all the intricate details which are necessary for the business.

Whenever there is discussion, I make it clear that I do not want any grey zones, just black and white.

Happiness is an enemy. It weakens you. Suddenly, you have something to lose.

From success, you learn absolutely nothing. From failure and setbacks conclusions can be drawn. That goes for your private life as well as your career.
