Lmao @ billing rate factored into equation. Why would this personal decision involve the firm's revenue.

like

Personal ROT: If (amount offered > your billing rate * delay caused / 4), then you take it

like

ZS1, like the thought, but the equation doesn't factor in a few things: time of day (afternoon delay doesn't mean hit to my sleep), my own cash crunch (so bias towards taking $), personal travel coming up. Incorrect assumptions: time spent waiting at airport is not necessarily unproductive (better connectivity, lounge access n undisturbed time)

like

@ZS and you came up with this formula how?

like

Hell yeah

like

Which is why it was a "personal" rule of thumb. Need not apply the same for everyone. The point is you need an objective way to value your time.
Everytime I have been offered compensation, it's meant reaching home after midnight instead of 9pm. Hence the factors.

like

Gift cards are offered only at LGA, JFK, MSP, LAX, and XNA (maybe Boston). All other delta stations only offer Delta Dollars.

like

Because how you value your time can be correlated with how your clients value your time (in a purely capitalistic sense). This has nothing to do with firm revenue - but a way of assessing how much is losing 3 hours at airport (usually followed by shorter sleep that night) worth to you.
I would have taken $200 for a 3 hour delay a few years ago. Now I value my time (and sleep) higher than that.

When does Delta issue an AMEX gift card? They issue terrible vouchers or "Delta dollars" with all the restrictions.

This isn't even a decision.

@ZS1 true ZSness came out lol

I've gotten AMEX cards offered from them. Definitely a thing.

I wish I had that problem

Yes

The firm's profitability or the clients value proposition would never EVER factor into my personal rule of thumb when it comes to my financial gain. Hope Op is working stuck in a lounge somewhere $1000 richer.

Depends, I wouldn't take it for an overnight stay. Would need to be closer to $2k

Curious if delta lets anyone know that you gave up your seat for $ lol

Rough day in the office and in the mood for something that would toss me around and maybe hurt a little. Black peppercorn crusted bacon left on a smoker too long and covered in jam made from under-ripe red fruits. The 59% ABV is definitely present, and you can smell the peat smoke from across the room. The finish lasts for days. If you’re already into peated scotch but want to crank it up another level, the cask strength Laphroaigs can show you your limits. Hurts soooo good 😌

The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?
