You get the satisfaction of seeing your name 37th on the upgrade list instead of 64th

still doesn’t get you an upgrade but you’ll be disappointed marginally faster

Nope. Plat you start getting upgrades.

This assumes you don’t live near a delta hub. If you do forget upgrades.

Gold you get to use the sky priority lane I guess?

More likely to upgrade to comfort+ I guess.

You may get to judge those silver status peasants while you board ahead of them.

funny

No.

Depends on where you’re based. At outstations, you occasionally get upgrades, especially on flights at off times. The biggest advantage of Gold is Sky Priority for boarding and checked luggage, and it transfers over to partner airlines.

Gold isn’t great, but it is quite a bit better than Silver.

Can anyone explain the difference between PWC SDC, PWC AC and PWC India?

I am trying to get into PWC. here are a few things I have heard so far. Is this fairly accurate?

1. PwC AC is offshore counterpart of PwC US. Good salary. No travel opportunities. Average yearly hike ~10% Mostly technical work.
2 PwC India is a pure consulting firm. Salary better than PwC AC. client facing work. Can grow as a management consultant. Great Travel opportunities.
