Any "old timers" here? I feel like if you're not on a path to be a chief officer, what is there to do? What sort of 2nd careers have people looked into?

I’m now a managing director. I have no aspirations to be c-level. I want my weekends and holidays.

I reckon I’ll be here a while more and when ageism comes around, I’ll retire and sit on my nest eggs. I will probably volunteer in a non-profit. I will day trade a small amount of my money.

There’s only so few c level roles, it’s okay you don’t have to end at the top of the hill.

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA
