For Delta elites who have been traveling recently, what have the upgrade lists looked like? Starting to travel again from next week and just got back to Diamond status through the “Reclaim your Status” program.

I’ve had decent luck getting FC upgrades from DCA, but I’m also not flying at peak consultant times (Monday mornings / Thursdays)

like

I’m Platinum and last year was definitely more upgraded than now (even with them blocking middle seats and half of 1st class), as airports are getting a lot more crowded. I’d say it’s pretty comparable to pre-pandemic times at this point. Still tough to get it in/out of ATL unless you’re going to less trafficked destinations.

She’s on my leg and she’s snoring, but I don’t want to move since she looks so comfy. I’m her slave. Planning her birthday— go to the dog beach + eat at a restaurant with a doggie menu + get a pup cake at a dog cafe + spend a night at a hotel (having trouble finding hotels that’s allow dogs >50lbs 😒). What else can I do for her? She has too many toys & doesn’t play with them often. No need for more treats since she eats more treats than kibbles. But what gift can I get her?

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
