Starting to fly again from PHL to ATL + Seattle. Any recs on maximizing benefits? Looks like American Airlines is the best bet, but their credit card perks look weak AF and I just downgraded the CSR after many years. 😁

I’m a DL fanboy but if my home base were a UA/AA hub, I’d be flying UA/AA. So much time saved by flying direct.

As far as credit card, get the AA executive card and pair it what the Amex Gold/Platinum. Much better rewards with the gold but better benefits with the Platinum. Also how much do you spend per year on a credit card? This helps a lot

You would have no issue with the annual fees then. You could spend $40k on the executive to get 10k more loyalty points and with a few flights you could be Platinum/Pro in no time.

Platinum Amex. Benefits are great and access to lots of lounges if you’re traveling a lot.

Then fly delta from PHL. The only way I’d do American is if you do the 6am Monday flight.

Hey everyone, moral issue here. My older brother is struggling with money and his mental health. I’m not so good with the mental health stuff but I do have a Robinhood account that has ~5k in it that I could give him to help him feel more comfortable. I make a tc of about 100k at 25 and he makes 50k working 2 jobs at 32. I can make that 5k back later in life, it would mean more to help him now when he needs it. Thoughts? All comments welcome. NOTE: I did help him find a therapist.

Hello HR folks. Overheard a conversation at work and am curious what is the norm.
If an employee goes out on FMLA, obviously the benefits person sends them the STD, FMLA paperwork etc. But is it the maagers responsibility to maintain communication with the person out on leave and to get a timeline on their return or would that be the benefits team? Or maybe the HRBP?

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years. Partner says it’s “just a DSUE election, decedent was ill for years, no assets.” Provides no records. Not even an admission the decedent owned a toothbrush. So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.

Need advice. Am in the middle of parental leave right now and my spouse and I are on the brink of divorce. Have only this 1 kid. Spouse doesn’t work yet, but can with earning potential around $50k.

How will custody work in that case? I want joint, but how do I take care of him alone with this job in the meantime?
