Cory Garner left American Airlines a few months ago - ending a 22-year career at the carrier where he was perhaps best known as the champion of the direct connect model in distribution.
He's now joined
Journera
as an advisor, where he'll be working alongside CEO Jeff Katz to push the real-time data exchange platform to a wider audience and, well, light a few more fires around the industry.
Katz has plenty to say about his new comrade but, as many will know, the Orbitz founder and former-airline exec (he was also at American Airlines for 16 years) always has a range of views on many other aspects of the industry.
He's our latest guest on InPhocus, chatting (almost co-hosting) with Kevin May on this episode.
