I don't recline either, but it's a person's choice. If they do t want you to recline, eliminate the functionality.

Not for personal travel and where don’t have status for potential upgrades. Also, it’s not like I’ve worked my whole life in consulting and never sat in Spirit/RyanAir/TigerJet before.

I don’t recline unless it’s a long haul flight (cross country US) or longer or I’m in first class. But I agree that I do check behind me first. If someone is working on their computer I won’t. It’s amazing what a little bit of communication and respect can do to make everyone’s flight a bit less hellish.

Perhaps airlines need to understand there has been a shift in the utility expected by clients.

He’ll always fly commercial. Comfort plus at best on domestic. Delta One at best if international. Partner works at Delta and is familiar with his travel arrangements.

The intent was to say he doesn’t always fly Delta One if international...

Totally agree.

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. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
