I thought it was only companion pass that was affected for points req?

Yes. But still a bummer whenever it’s harder to make status.

The number of segments didn’t change to reach status and only the points requirement for companion pass changed. As for the fees, they don’t go into effect until 2021 and they are tax related- can’t imagine that will break the bank and still is far better than what any other airline charges for same day change fee.

I need to make a decision by tomorrow:
Current base salary: $55k
Current bonus: 10.5% (~$5k)
Vacation: 2 weeks
*been with company for 4 years. Started as a product data analyst out of school.

New offer base salary: $90k
Bonus: 12% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

Counter offer: $80k
Bonus: 14% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

The new offer would require significantly more travel. I have a young family and value time at home. My heart is telling my to take the counter offer from my company.

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Looking for a nice looking, sturdy, comfortable to carry travel duffel with a cross body strap.
