Following!

I’ve flown Qantas hundreds of times. Qantas has great service (certainly better than any US carrier). They’re also part of oneworld, so you could credit miles to AA and get AA status benefits. That said, coming from the US, I wouldn’t fly Qantas to go to South Africa unless you’re also trying to go to Australia. Even from the west coast, flying via ATL instead of SYD is 4,000 miles shorter.

I’d highly recommend spending time in Cape Town if you do go to South Africa.

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

Hello, I have received an offer from Southwest Airlines as a Associate Technology Analyst with their direct college hire program. Will be graduating in May with a degree in MIS and also have internships experience as a Business Systems analyst intern. The salary compensation started off at 66,500 but was looking for the 75k range and they got back to me saying the best they can do is 68,500. They also have a 401k company match up to 9.3%. Do you think this is a solid offer for this job market?
