Your brand is just a lagging indicator of who you are.

No judgments here, but quick question: have you taken a flight in the last 90 days, what for exactly, and how did you justify taking that risk? Can't imagine going on a flight for business or pleasure at this point, so only thing I can think of is a family emergency maybe?
