Mike Griffith comes to you live from the road in Incheon, South Korea for ATAM #4. 

Today, we discuss social media and how respect is earned and used.

A new segment, "Walking the Line", is also introuduced; and it features a new cast member — YOU. If you happen to see or fly with Mike, you could be on the next ATAM, so have your questions and thoughts ready!

Finally, the ATAM closes with "Epic Fail: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Shanghai Edition"

We hope you enjoy the ATAM, and please share it with your fellow crewmembers on Twitter, Facebook, or your friendly neighborhood Atlas cockpit.
