I love flying first class in shorts and a t-shirt. Everyone is so confused.

I haven't experienced this, even though I fly every Sunday in shorts/t-shirt/flip flops. What airline/city?

Major perk for me is that you can use RPU and GPU on award tickets. Plus they can get special award ticket rates (an itinerary costing me 340,000 they got me for 160,000 somehow). You get served food first. They will hold the plane for you. If you're late in a US connection they may drive out on the Tarmac in a Mercedes to your next gate, or through the terminal in a buggy. I think it's great. What's your spend? That's a big part of it

I call bs on that article. Upgrades are by status, fare class etc and most happen before boarding. Nobody gets an upgrade bc of how they are dressed.

That's cool! My spend fluctuated a ton over the years between like $10K and $60K

You should be in decent running at $60k. Make sure it's PQD on United planes (not partner airlines that still give you credit). Plus you need some international business sprinkled in there

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
