My name is Brett, and I am the President and Chief Airline Dork of Cranky Flier LLC. I’ve had the airline bug since I was young. As a kid, I never missed a chance to go to LAX and pick up airline timetables. My grandmother even took me to an airport hotel for my birthday one year so I could watch the planes land. By the age of 12, I had become a travel agent. Soon after I was volunteering at Traveler’s Aid.

Since that time, I’ve worked in several places in the industry. Here’s what I’ve done in the past.

USAir Sales Intern (1996-1997)
America West Sales Intern (1997-1999)
United Dulles Operations Intern (1999)
America West Pricing Analyst/Sr Analyst/Manager (1999-2002)
Eos Intern (2003)
United Marketing Planning Product Manager (2004-2005)
PriceGrabber.com Business Director of Travel (2005-2007)

Today, my main focus is this blog along with my Cranky Concierge air travel assistance service. I also freelance and consult for other companies. To see a list of everything I’m doing today, head to my ethics page.
