Thanks everyone. Sounds like Amex Plat then? Just so tough to decide because I’ll be flying AS between SEA, SJC, and DEN, but I’ll be flying AA everywhere else.

Can you also expense the CSR AF? If I remember correctly, AS lounges at SEA are in the Priority Pass family.

(& there's definitely a Priority Pass lounge at SJC)

AS lounges are blah... however there is no AA lounge in SEA but Admirals Club membership gets you into AS lounge for now. For DFW, ORD, JFK, AC would be optimal but I don't believe AS has gates near them. I would lean towards Amex Plat however the AA Citi card may also be lucrative since you can add up to 11 authorized users who also get AC access (significant other, parents, etc.).

Plat. You still get a priority pass good for you and two guests and there are AS or other lounges that take PP in sea, Dfw, sjc, and a restaurant credit in Den. Plus las, sea, Dfw centurion lounges and if you choose LGA instead of JFK (easier to get into the city for me).
The sjc PP lounge has a decent free bar too.

I have both Amex plat and as longer but I live in an as hub city that has a centurion lounge.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
