MY DOWNTIME WITH ... Leroy Lindsay

Contributed Leroy Lindsay

Leroy Lindsay is senior associate with Flight Star Aviation Management Solutions, a Dubai-based company. He was seconded by Flight Star to the International Air Transport Association, based in Montreal. Lindsay also worked as an international aviation consultant for International Air Transport Association on their Fuel Efficiency Gap Analysis (FEGA) programme.

He and wife, Winsome, have five children: Leona, Chandra, Andrew, Charene and Camille.

We caught up with Lindsay who was recently home to find out how he spends his downtime.

What was the last book you read?

The book that I have just finished is Thinking for Change, by John C. Maxwell, and I am about to start The 8th Habit, by Dr Stephen Covey.

Which CD are you listening to now?

Hold on to what you've got by Arthur Conley

Where was the last interesting place you visited?

I went to Vietnam in December for two weeks of consultancy for Vietnam Airlines. I visited Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum and the museum dedicated to his life. Having seen where bombs were dropped on Cambodia during the war while I was in the Royal Air Force, I got a different perspective of the place.
