I have dialed into some meetings up in the air via Skype to listen in, need to stay on mute cause of the background noise. Sometimes a little choppy but not always.

Your flight attendant will tell you that's against FAA regulations (they told me that much last time I did FaceTime audio)

I have dialed in and listened to calls. Never spoken. Bit choppy

I did this this month and it was perfectly fine for 1.5 hrs. Stayed on mute whole time of course.

I have done urgent WhatsApp calls only and they barely lasted for 2-3 minutes. Plus the discomfort you cause to your fellow passengers is definitely not worth it. Unless you are a Partner. They don’t really care

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I'm having difficulties connecting with my team over Zoom, and I'm feeling lonely. Anyone else?
