Well, in a PR stunt, Lufthansa has invited him to visit Germany on their dime after citing his latest Facebook status, 'I underestimated how good German beer is' as well as his obvious passion for German beer and culture. It's not clear if Gray Powell has decided to 'pick up where he last left off' (as the letter puts it). I know what my decision would be."

I think it was pretty ridiculous for Giz to release the engineeer's name to the public, though I've heard Apple does not plan to dismiss him (and I can't help but wonder whether he's single... anyone a mutual connection?). As such, I think Lufthansa's gimick is a great marketing device to get their name out. And I think with all the negative backlash Giz and Gray Powell have been getting for the most sensational story in tech thus far this year, the Apple seedling should take the German airline up on their offer!
