Are you serious? 45 minutes and they gave you advance warning? Entitlement culture is going too far

likefunny

It actually is the first time in a while I’ve had advance warning. 99% of the time at the gate, you’ll “On Time” and 10 minutes after boarding was scheduled to start it will update to a delay.

Lots of crews got to their destinations late yesterday due to weather delays and they have mandatory rest periods hence a crew delay. I generally don’t bother with asking for points for delays under 3 hours barring exceptional operational stupidity.

I would call that a service so you can arrive a bit later.
AA flight, 45 min are you kidding?

They did that to me on Wednesday. Enough delay that I’d miss my connection. So I scurried around to get an earlier set and left the client early. Only to get to the airport and they didn’t recognize it, said I was standby even though the website still showed I had a seat. The flight then went back on time then delayed again so I had to get a third set of tickets. Left for the airport at 1:00 PM. Finally got home at 1:00 AM. Most non productive day I’ve had in a while. Had they just not send the message, I’d at least have had 4 more work hours at the client. I hate AA these days.

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!
