In the first two weeks of a status challenge. All foreseeable travel is cancelled. Can AA extend or refund?

I fell asleep on the plane from DCA > CLT today and had a dream that American Airlines instituted a new policy where the entire flight is just a nonstop ad for their rewards credit card, and they stop announcing it only if 50% of passengers completed an application.

Trying incredibly hard not to be ungrateful to have a job but consulting from home long term is kind of challenging, seems like a joke, working 12-14 hour days daily is ruining my mental health, and I feel like I’m barely learning anything if at all. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Need help deciding which is more valuable: 60k bonvoy points outright or converting to 25k AA miles. Even tho I plan to stay in AirBnBs in upcoming vacations, I don’t want to sacrifice value

Visa inputs - I am going to IN to get visa stamping (and yes other reasons amidst covid travel). Have my drop box scheduled (extension within same company). Have folks experienced any delays with stamping, what’s the turnaround if you are called for interview? Any insights on prep will help. TIA

I miss Delta. Anyone racking up the MQMs?

Got short video interview, then a job offer @ low end my req. range. Experience: it’s normal to travel for a 2nd interview in person. Result: I see quitting to do this as risky. I asked for more $ than my prior range & explained I prefer we meet in person to see if it’s a fit 1st. Hiring manager wants me and may push for the $ but not the in person meet. Wonder if it could cause me to start there with less trust if they think I abused my position for more $.

Such an easy quick ride on the A subway line to JFK airport. No traffic, no hassle parking, and got to the airport before my ETA as per google maps. Efficient and even better no gas usage

I hate to tell all these folks wearing masks on my flight that they only help to prevent you from infecting others. They do nothing to prevent you from inhaling airborne pathogens.

I recently received a referral to a credit card company..... and the hiring manager simply looked at how many years of experience I have on my resume without even looking at my credentials.

For shits and giggles I submitted the same resume with another name and put Stanford as my college and he asked me to interview. Thinking of posting this on Linkedin so I can get on #linkedinCringe ahahah

How many of you folks feel you have been domesticated in the lockdown and will never feel the same about work travel again? Coming from a happily married father of two, I dread leaving the family and getting on the road again. Will miss the small stuff - playing ball, helping with studies, bedtime stories..either way, when you answer please leave your marital and parental status to see if there is a trend...

producing an ad where we would maybe be dubbing something along the lines of "I understand you" "I agree with you". Now am most likely looking at having the dub made for 8 languages, for 16 micro sentences. Looking at 2 diff ppl per lang. Instead of me sourcing this all over the place, could someone give me a firm that would actually be specializng in this sort of thing, enabling me to get everything in one place/them taking care through their network on finding languages.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone could you share with me a figure that show in a glance why my client should link KPI and media earned, to pay us? (and ultimately how much pourcentage he should pay us)

Has anyone had to resort to blocking their ex on LinkedIn? I broke up with my cheater of an ex in 2017. Blocked him literally everywhere because he kept reaching out to me & trying to manipulate me in getting back with him. Since then, I’ve been in a healthy, loving, serious relationship. He messaged me on LinkedIn on my birthday 3 months ago & I just ignored. He reached out again tonight. It’s been 3 years. Why can’t he just be an adult & leave me alone?! Time to block on LinkedIn too I suppose

I keep on interviewing for new roles and keep on getting passed up. Am told my experience is great, but there are more qualified candidates. I have asked for feedback and understand everyone is busy, but I’m getting really frustrated. I have a 10 month old and probably off my game, but I’m disappointed as I’m in a dead end job and feel it was the worst move I have made and made me not hirable or anything anymore. Hitting my self esteem hard. Just needed to vent.
