Overheard at ORD... "This is why I don't fly commercial, I'm a jetsmarter member" - looked it up $10k/yr plus $5k membership fee. Respect to that guy.

I've had the app for my own curiosity for awhile. The $10k will get you empty legs for free. You can see average numbers of empty legs per year per route before joining. I hope someday I can fly charter as well.

So on empty legs, you can block at least two seats. On Shuttle flights, you only get one seat, and it may be club (facing someone) or couch. (People bitch about couch, but I like it). If you have the higher membership tier, you don't pay for shuttle flights, except transatlantic, but you can only have one or two reserved at a time.

You can get the whole plane on some empty legs. They push the value of their membership for social/networking purposes and even have non- air travel related events.

Yet he was flying commercial today?

And then you pay for flights on top of that? 10K sounds like a steal.

Isn't it awkward to sit face to face with someone? Even if it is a comfy seat... That's... Not exactly private...

And you live in a city with Shuttle flights. It's not great if you're only getting empty legs and discount full-plane charter. If the London-NY shuttle picks up, $3k r/t in a G-IVSP is a smoking deal.

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
