Use CSR points to book travel (that way you'll get credit for the segments and miles), and then use miles to upgrade your seats

Oh and I'd be flying from RDU or CLT initially.

Thanks McK1, will look into those

H1, If rather fly coach for free than use points on upgrades

Use Gary leffs award booking service well worth the fee for a trip like that

OP, can't "upgrade" on award tickets. Either pay award fare for premium classes or go route H1 said.

@D1: I thought you could do that on AA now

Or I'll just got coach D1

What are some questions I could ask during the first interview?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
