Lol forget about the drinks, you’ll be lucky if your plane takes off on time nowadays

@Director that was true prior to COVID but not anymore. Delta fired way more employees than needed to during COVID and as a result they have lost the on-time and flight cancellation / delay advantage for which they used to charge a premium (which you can see with the summer meltdowns and cancellations they’ve suffered like the other airlines).

Looking at the BTS airline performance stats, it’s the luck of the draw with each of the Big 3 alternating meltdowns, and this will not get better for a while - thank Bastian for ruining what was the best ground operations for a U.S. airline.

For all the American hate - I only ever have a problem if I am the last flight in the day and crew will time out. If you keep it to the mornings you will rarely have an issue, or maybe itd cause I'm at a hub.

Yes, MCE gets them. Main issue could be, and I’ve flown ~10 segments the past few months as an EXP, is they won’t give you doubles. But I’ve had no issue hitting the call button or telling the FA I’d need another one even without a drink cart and getting it. Just be assertive, there’s no limit by TOC of MCE.

Update, flight was only 30 minutes delayed and the crew gave me a double off the bat - not a bad night. For all the AA hate in this thread, it wasn't half bad.

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?

Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.
