For any AA platinum members - is it worth it? Flying from DCA to ORD. Thinking about the status challenge but $500 for plat challenge + plat now is steep. Sick of united silver.

Do the status match through PwC. AA will match your United status.

The most important thing is your home airport OP. I'm ExecPlat out of DFW, so it's pretty worthless aside from the higher mile earning rate.

I paid 200 for challenge plat but don't get status until I win. Pretty much regretting that but I was so sick of being a peasant again. Started in September have traveled pretty much the entire time. Just barely missed qualification EOY and it all reset jan 1. Despite 5 months of consistent travel, I have no status on airlines

I only have United silver, I don't think it's worth it. How often do AA golds get upgraded on ~600 mi flights? I can get Econ+ on most united flights when I check in as a silver.

You'll get economy plus seating equivalent (assuming it's not already taken). You have to accrue 500-mile upgrade segments that you will 'spend' to try to get into first - if you're flying a 600 mile flight it would take 2 to upgrade. You earn 4 every 12,500 miles flown

There has to be a free status challenge you can do...

Try calling them and see if they will let you use PwC status match for the challenge to platinum

Nvm just realized it's not a challenge but rather a pay for status

So fucking mad every time I board behind the casual traveler

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

Has anyone dealt with a lack of praise from attorneys? I'm not someone who needs to hear "good job" all the time, but we just got a huge deal closed that I worked really hard on and had a lot of overtime.

But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
