Question for you all, does anyone know why Monday morning flights are never late... yet.... Thursday night traffic makes me late regardless of city (nyc, ord, etc.) every week for the past few mos?

I imagine it’d because the morning flights are literally sitting there at the gate waiting for you to board, whereas the evening flights are at the tail end of upwards of 5 different flights?

That being said, I have no clue how the aviation business works

This is correct. My roommate works at United and we have chatted about this.

Every summer is just a shit show. Can’t wait for the winter.😩🙄

The past few months probably has to do with the limited plane supply from the grounding of the 737s. It's had a pretty large impact on many airlines.

As to the difference between Monday and Thursday, Sunday is a slower travel day than Wednesday?

Evening flights just generally are late, especially on the east coast. Additionally, LGA/JFK renovations have completely bamboozled the east coast. JFK has actually closed 2 out of 4 runways.

Anecdotal? Does anyone have any statistics with a large sample size to confirm.

Maybe we all just want to get home on Thursday and delays are that much more irritating.

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

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.

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.
