I’m saving my RUC for a Delta One flight from ATL to Honolulu. What are the chances of success of getting the upgrade? Trying to decide if I just book the delta one 💺 with miles or chance it.

Out of ATL? No chance

like

Not clear what you’re asking, but if it’s bet on a regional upgrade versus locking it in with points, the previous poster is 100% accurate from ATL.

Are you going with family?

Going with my fiancé, so I can either spend the 200K points to buy the Delta One seat or pay about $800 and hope for the upgrade.

Sounds like the upgrade chances are slim out of ATL though.

If they’re like Global Upgrades you can sometimes get the upgrade confirmed in advance depending on flight availability.

First you need 1 bazillion SkyPesos to get the seat.

What’s your status OP? Check the load factor

Platinum, what’s the load factor?

I need to make a decision by tomorrow:
Current base salary: $55k

Vacation: 2 weeks
*been with company for 4 years. Started as a product data analyst out of school.

New offer base salary: $90k
Bonus: 12% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

Counter offer: $80k
Bonus: 14% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

The new offer would require significantly more travel. I have a young family and value time at home. My heart is telling my to take the counter offer from my company.

I have a boss from hell. She’s the GM of my hotel and she is a mean girl that never grew out of highschool. She loves gossip. She will trash talk her employees with other employees and once her toxic garbage starts to leak amongst us peons she will send a group text telling us all to stop spreading rumors and to stop being bullies like she isn’t the mean kid with a magnifying glass torturing ants for no reason. I want to stand up but I’ve seen her retaliate on people who have tried to. Help.
