Have 130k miles this year - every one of them on AA / partners (live at a hub). Debating taking a UA flight for a better shot at upgrade (UA Silver) since AA flight to ORD is already sold out

I guess it depends on when and where you fly. I’m EXP based in Dallas... I get upgraded more than 50% of the time

like

Point is, as exp, I’m sick of being in back middle, #15 on upgrade list. Too many folks (probably me included), have status.

You won’t clear as a silver member on the United flight. I’m 1K and never get upgraded into or out of ohare

^^yep, I’m silver on United and I’m usually ~20th on the upgrade list to/from ORD

I live in Atlanta and fly Delta. I never, ever get upgraded. I've considered switching to United or American, but feel the connections are worse than back, middle seats.

United will match your status if you complete a challenge.

It's all about living in a non-hub as an elite. In AA and hit 95% upgrades. As long as the destinations work for you it's great. Used to live in Chicago and my upgrades were only 60% or so.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
