My S/O is visiting me this weekend, but after his flight checkin he noticed he is on standby (the first standby slot out of 5). Is there anything else he can be doing to guarantee his flight spot? This is Delta airlines, flying from O’Hare to Boston.

Did he buy basic econ?! If so, that happens. I'd call delta and ask to assign him a seat.

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store.

I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
