I've noticed United planes are small, old, and very cramped for domestic flights. Are Delta or AA any better? Which airline should I prioritize for service and status?

Dif isn't the plane size but the service quality. Delta wins.

And yes Delta by a country mile based on on-time arrival rates being significantly higher than the others

United does have better Internet than Delta though. However, both are decent except when I have to remote to another machine. Delta has consistent power plugs as well. United is a toss up. I'm personally a Delta girl.

Delta for me but mostly depends on where you live. Delta had a bunch of old planes from the NW merger but I've seen lots of newer planes lately. Service-wise, I also think they're better than the others.

Depends on the route, but Delta overall. United is the worst in my experience

Depends on geography because you need directs to destination too. I fly Delta but I was ExP for AA the years before I changed. Swapped to get directs for a 10month project and never looked back

Delta has great service but I hate their reliance on the dreaded regional jets even for flights that are 3+ hours. They have refurbished a bunch of them recently it seems but the tiny planes still are more bumpy and less comfortable.

like

I remember someone posting on here that Delta has an older fleet than AA. Guessing it depends on route

On average(arithmetic mean) Delta has the oldest fleet, American the newest. But of course your personal experience will vary depending on airport and route

I travel mainly within the northeast out of NYC so United's EWR hub was always a draw

https://thepointsguy.com/guide/best-and-worst-airlines-2017/

American is average to terrible depending on your route. Legacy USAir metal is the absolute worst. They have some new aircrafts in the fleet but those end up being deployed to popular routes at select times...so as a AA lifer I can tell you I'll only see a nice new air craft ever so often. I think the service has deteriorated post merger. But it seems like it's still better than United

Look at what equipment each operates on the routes you fly most office / out of your home city. All have regional jets and all have wide bodies.

Hello - thinking of starting a small side coaching practice. Could use a bit of help because I've never thought about opening a side hustle but times are tough with two kids in college.

1. What is the best approach to collecting your fee? Each session? Pay the package cost upfront,? Other, and if so, what is it?
2. How do you collect it? Venmo? Credit card?
3. Do you have to register your business?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

Anyone else still at work? Because I am.

And some people wonder why I started this bowl.
