Doubt it’s United’s fault. They don’t control weather warnings

Rather be safe than sorry 🤷🏾‍♀️

I do actually like United...I get upgraded more frequently than with delta, I can book directly into their economy plus and their reward miles go WAY further 🤷🏼‍♀️

I've had this issue multiple times. I'm thinking that it has to do with ATC shortages because they seem incapable of dealing with the slightest schedule disturbances

EWR night not have gotten a drop, but there were plenty of other locations nearby and in the region who did.

I, for one, have missed the “...Not!” jokes. Thanks, OP, for trying to bring them back.




NOT!

Does anyone have any advise on how to become a staff video editor at a creative production company? They usually don't have any "job openings" listed on their site.

I have 5+ years of experience working at a creative ad agency, but much of the work was pitch/sizzle videos (yuck).

I'm freelancing now which has been a great step in the right direction but I'd eventually love to be on staff at a post house like The Den, Cut+Run, Company 3 etc. pumping out cool work. Just seems hard to break in.
