Yes, much more than United

It's a race to the bottom with legacy carriers. I'd rather fly Jetblue. Comparable price, massively superior service. Don't care about status since the legacy airlines keep devaluing it anyway

Right on M1, I'm thinking of switching from United to Alaskan for my xcountry travel.

PwC1 - good decision. Alaska Air has best customer service of any airline

Yes they do - you are group 8, so it’s obvious

Don’t do it. I did it once and they called out 5 names before boarding (including mine) and said “you booked economy minus and need to pay to check your bags right now.” I am platinum and that did let me keep my normal boarding group and retain the ability to carry on, but I had to explain their own policy to them. Status does not allow you to pick your seat though. I ended up in 35B.

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help

I want to get my PhD, but all of the programs I want require a full time commitment for the first year. What are my options? Is a sabbatical an option? Or would I have to straight up resign? Utilization notwithstanding (I’m a GPS consultant)…is it possible to go part time? I completed my master’s full time while a full time Deloitte consultant. I know school can be done, but for PhDs they usually want you to also work as a TA. Additionally, I am not interested in online programs.
