Flight diverted to STL because "plane didn't have enough fuel" for my DCA -> PHX flight. Missing my connection because of this. Anyone know if I can leverage some points from AA for this?

They missed by a lot on that one.....

Maybe it was something more serious and they used fuel as an excuse? By saying they don't have enough fuel they're admitting that someone ROYALLY fucked up during flight prep, and it's a super serious offense. It's like when we tell the clients that the only thing wrong with their house is that one insignificant light bulb is burnt out when in reality they're entire fucking house is burning down with their children in it.

There is almost no chance the flight took off with insufficient fuel. So you likely had a major weather diversion, were in a hold for a long time, etc. The other possibility is that there were very strong headwinds and the stop in STL was planned from the beginning.

like

Headwinds are extremely strong today, even for winter's standards. Your flight took off with the appropriate fuel or else it never would've left, but couldn't store enough within aircraft weight limits to get cross country with this weather. You're one of hundreds planning fuel stops today.

like

Yeah, what's the backstory here? Significant re-routing for weather?

Or it could just be an emergency landing that they didn't want to explain to passengers because people without aeronautical knowledge would have freaked tf out

The flight carrying those Brazilian soccer players crashed because of low fuel. It's a prett serious offense......

Google AA customer feedback and fill out the form online. Usually get a response within 2 days. Most I got was 15k miles for a 6 hours mechanical delay.

P1, that's exactly it. Smart man

Ahem...!

Happy to provide my story on the other side. Spent two years at Accenture under Technology mostly working on business analysis for implementations and PMO.

Left for Facebook for a role in strategic analytics in BizOps with 180k TC.

Few tips for looking at exits:

1) Referrals are a huge tool for getting your foot in the door. At Facebook it guarantees that atleast your resume is given more than a glance.

2) A well constructed story/resume can offset any weak points in your experience
