Any advice for asking for a status match from United? Thursday was the nail in the coffin for my relationship with American Airlines.

... and tweet the shit out of what happened with #ihateaa and #aasucks so the #AAssholes get the message. Collectively we consultants spend million$ with the airlines every quarter. Time for a revolt against shitty service and incompetence.

Storytime: left my client early on Thursday because I was sick. Put myself on the standby list for an earlier flight. Asked the service desk rep what number I was on the list. Her response? "It's really more about who you know than your number. You're not likely to get on." Bitch, I fly this airline twice a week and have status.

Details please! Oh and yeah just call them. They are usually pretty good about it as long as you haven't done it before.

I called them, they referred me to: United.com/statusmatch or something along like that. They just need evidence of your status and they'll usually give it to you in a few days. FYI it's a status challenge not a match.

Mine took a few hours, it's pretty east

*gets the popcorn*
Sitting on an AA flight right now. Entertain me with your story!!

Just completed my match challenge to United from AA this morning!

I did they're stays challenge from Delta. Emailed they're status match challenge they ask you for a start date. I flew 48000 miles in 90 days but only united airplanes count and 36000 of my miles were on Lufthansa, just as a warning they didn't honor my match

The fuck! Sorry about that, OP.

Woah! What status do you have OP?

I have gold. I'm about 6 weeks away from platinum.

You're bitching as a gold member? No wonder AA doesn't care

Yeah lol cmon OP you should know better, American hands out gold as a college senior signing bonus to every consultant in the world. United hands out silver like that too so you're not going to get treated any better there either!

Reminds me of when I was at the airport and heard a lady bitching and threatening to never fly American again, and she makes that flight EVERY YEAR!

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales.
