Dear god.. hope that isn’t a work flight

I support the pilots. Willing to put up with minor inconvenience if it helps them get pay bumps they deserve.

Reading up on this - the pilots picketing are off duty. They aren’t striking yet as there are a number of significant hoops to jump through before they’re allowed to

Hey London fishes, I'll be moving back to London after several years away.

I’m (22F) starting frequent travel for a new role, and will be flying around 4-5 days a week staying in various hotels to train staff on location. This is my first role on the road and I’m collecting lady-specific travel advice, as I travel internationally for family but never this frequently for domestic affairs! Feel free to drop luggage brands, outfit tips, airline advice, or anything in general that you think may help a young woman stay cool & collected while hopping around the country! 😊

Point B is hiring for a ton of roles across the US. Some roles require candidates to live in one of our markets, while others allow you to be located anywhere in the US (depends on the group the role is for). Great WLB, minimal travel (if any), most work remotely and will continue to do so. Also have lots of openings for independent consultants as well.

DM me for more info and a referral.

How much discomfort/inconvenience am I supposed to endure for work travel?
I’m being asked to travel from CA to NY for a trade show. Flight options are either overnight or amount to 18+ hours of travel. Plus, I’m a bigger guy and sitting in an airline seat for 6 hours is miserable. I was hired without any pre-defined travel expectations/requirements.

Trying to decide - should we get married on a Friday in December 2022 or Saturday in Jan/Feb 2023? Would love pros/cons from someone other than me and my fiancé! My fiancé votes for Fri in Dec but I’m torn because asking people to travel for Friday seems like a lot?
