Flights through Delta hubs... sometimes the first half of the plane is all Platinum or Diamond.

I feel your pain man. I’m a Platinum with the Reserve card connecting through SLC en route to a tiny city out West tomorrow...currently in a middle seat and barely in the top half of the upgrade list on the second leg. I clearly understand why Delta is doing it but first class monetization is making elite status largely pointless.

Yeah I have suffered that as a platinum. Didn't expect the same as diamond. And I know I sound all shallow and self centered right now... But...

entitled people! at least mid seat gets both arm
rest

I got diamond last year by Sept. Flying SEA to DTW and ATL mostly...would regularly get upgraded to Comfort once I hit Diamond (about 2/3 when Platinum)..but only first class upgrades were on very off peak flights.

Your fault for booking economy. Don’t blame the airline, blame the flyer!

MOSS ADAMS SoCal (Irvine, San Diego, LA) BRS people can you please provide some insight? I spoke to an experienced hire recruiter today and he said the company is moving to a hybrid model to include more in-person time between clients and staff. How often are you traveling to client sites and the office? is it as much as audit 2-3 weeks living in a hotel or sitting in the client's office? or maybe once a month? or are you working mostly remote? Thank you.

Looking for a nice looking, sturdy, comfortable to carry travel duffel with a cross body strap. I always travel with my Louis Vuitton Keepall 55 bandoulière as a carry on, with mainly my shoes and handbags in it - but i took her in to LV for a repair and due to supply issues she will sadly not be back in time for my trip to Italy in September. (The repair may take 10 months, WTF!) I would appreciate any recommendations, and would love for it to be similar in size to the Keepall 55.

I’m struggling on how to effectively coach a designer on my team who is a low performer. I’ve been working with them for two years.. but have not seen the growth needed to succeed in this industry. They’re slow, lack creative innovation, and have a hard time designing strategically (designs don’t make sense even from a functionality standpoint).

I’ve tried everything I can think of.. but at this point, account teams would rather request working with interns over this person.

Any advice?
