CEO Blog: Swine flu may change my travel plans

I may stop traveling as much.  Our company’s headquarters is in Denver and our key customer support, sales and account management office is in Atlanta where I live.  Sometimes, I think that the company runs better just with the force of my personality when I move between our two big offices.  Of course, that’s so off base.  We’re a conferencing company after all!

Here is why I’m going to cut back.  There are plenty of stupid people that get on airplanes.  I have to deal with them about half the time because I’m fortunate enough for Delta to upgrade me to First Class.  But there are going to be a lot more people that get on the airplane sick.

Unless you travel a lot, you probably are not aware that the air in the plane recirculates all the time.  Someone sneezes all over the place in row 40, seat G, and you get their germs, even if you’re in First Class.  Now, I already said I haven’t had the flu in as long as I can remember – at least 20+ years.  I just think this may be my year so I’m going to use the full range of our technology and hang out in Atlanta for a while.  The Denver guys may be relieved.  I do suck the air out of the room when I’m around!
