I can't decide on an airline - live in NYC and parents live in central NJ so United would be perfect convenience-wise, but I think United has shitty planes. I like Delta. Is switching between two bad?

Why does where your parents live affect your choice of airline?

I'm in the same living situation, all depends what you want. I chose United.
United: pro =crazy tons of international routes, more valuable miles and lifetime status is better con= its United (operations sub par, customer service terrible, expect delays)

Delta: pro=great customer service and operations con=sky pesos, not as many international routes

I like to have the option to go there or go to the airport from there.

That's a pretty weak reason. Delta has old ass second hand planes. AA has a ton on new planes but there's that whole US Airways fleet issue.

Where are the majority of your clients? Our lives are stressful enough, go with convenience. Take into account where you're flying to.

I guess my question is really about two things - do all airlines have equal amount of shitty/nice planes and service? And is it bad to have two airlines? I know there's the whole "lifetime" miles thing but I don't think I'm going to stay in consulting long enough to avail that...or if I stay until partner then I'll have to have two airlines anyway.

Also maybe it's worth a mention that I'm two years into consulting, have gotten gold status with American (but no longer an option really) and have some mileage with Delta.

Is United silver the most basic one? I only have Marriott platinum as a result of the merger.

How can you track the fast track United mileage program?

I signed up for fast track in October and it said I have 120 days to use the fast track. On my mileage profile it says that I need to hit X miles etc to get gold status by the end of this year.

Are these two things separate and where can I see the fast track progress?

Thanks in advance :)

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
