Before I jump to conclusions how AA redemptions suck dick- can anyone clarify if I'm wrong? I get reward flights get filled but even the non Saver price tags are not non stop (even common JFK to LAS)

American has severely limited their award availability over the past two years, since they wrapped up the merger with US Airways. Over the past months they've increased their award availability, but they've done it in a way that means the "good" availability they're offering is actually crap and usually has stops.
Also - I'm assuming it was ypu asking about Delta in the other thread as well? I think of the major airlines, United and Southwest have the edge when it comes to awards these days

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.

Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
