First time taking a domestic flight; also the first time I've been stuck on the tarmac for three hours, and then informed that the flight is cancelled. Is American Airlines just terrible?

All US airlines are, but granted, stuck on tarmac for 3 hours might be weather related and nothing to do with AA

Welcome to domestic flights. Which city?

@EY New York... all flight schedules looks like a clusterfuck right now, so I guess there's some larger issue. Still pissed this is how I'm spending my Sunday

Ah. Welcome to consulting travel then :) If you will be traveling a lot, you will encounter this a lot. Learn to accept - or find an engagement you can get to by land. Trains are awesome.

It's weather this evening. Flying another airline would likely have resulted in no better than a major delay.

Yes, but not exclusively

How often do you think you will be traveling in 2022 with COVID mostly behind us? In the final interview/negotiation stages with an agency focused on pharmaceutical marketing as an Account Manager. Offer states up to 30% travel (but was told 20% is more realistic). No further info given such as location of accounts I'd be working on or a baseline other AMs travel. Feels like a red flag. Not interested in much travel. Quarterly is manageable. Any insights from others in similar roles??

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?
