He’s trying to only talk the good he thinks he’s having yet not answering the questions or fulfilling the requests in a timely manner. What a piece of work.

This dolt knew he would be asked about his flight time, so he produced the approximate number of flights, but couldn't, and didn't, produce the receipts of how much the cost was. Truly amazing the level of deception and unaccountability.
