Controversial: Work-Life Balance Is Overrated.
I've worked at the same engineering firm for 4 years. I'm currently making $161k with only a $750 bonus, but excellent vacation (4 weeks, cash out anytime, rolls over indefinitely), 45 hours a week. I have an interview with a recruiter at Guidehouse this week for a Technical Project Manager role. It seems to be focused in the government space and requires a security clearance. What sort of salary and benefits could I expect for this sort of role at Guidehouse?

It's an equivalent of an asshole test
I'm a liberal siding with UA.
BUSTED!
True, but not surprising. Conservatives believe in preserving the natural order and respecting authority. Liberals believe in challenging the status quo and questioning authority. It's only natural that conservatives would side w/ UA & police while liberals would side with the man challenging them.
DD1, you need to unfriend those people post haste, even if they're family
Won't argue with that! The industry is ripe for change

Liberal siding with UA's initial judgment (but not police or UA's post-incident attempts at PR)
Of course when I tried discussing with the super-liberal contingent of my Facebook feed I got called a race traitor, sympathizer, and enabler to the capitalist/white (because they're clearly the same -__-) patriarchy that maintains its power through the state-owned monopoly on violence
I think we have more insight and experience to offer on airline news than heavy politics like intl relations tho
@DD1: Because you took UA's side on this issue?
@D1: my main POV has been that United got a lot more "credit" for the incident than it actually was responsible for (which doesn't absolve them of blame either!). If the guy ends up off the plane without violence, it's another "capitalism as usual" story whose operational causes from an airline perspective pale in comparison to what Delta went through that same weekend. Naturally, United's handling of the situation/aftermath has been inexcusably bad (basically "oh it wasn't technically our fault, and btw this guy is one bad hombre"), and security (the real #1 villain in my mind) used an unnecessary amount of force in removing the passenger, but the events leading up to the situation could have happened to most airlines and are more symptomatic of the industry as a whole (which, admittedly, has been in need of a shake-up in the deregulation-driven race to the bottom of the past few decades).
I expect we'll see gate agents given more authority to increase compensation past legally required amounts to get more volunteers in any future occurrences as airlines realize that the financial cost of an involuntary denial (especially once on the plane) can exceed the legal compensation amounts, and an escalation path that isn't as quick to resort to law enforcement (current state is basically a by-the-numbers economic optimization of "pay them as little as you can up to the legally required amount, then start kicking people out with the legally required compensation. If they refuse, call in security" that ignores secondary effects). That in turn changes the economics of how much to overbook given the cost of reaccommodation will have increased, leading to fewer situations where passengers have to be bumped in the first place.
I think you're missing one thing, which your anti-capitalist friends put very inartfully - United had been on a long journey to becoming the opposite of a customer-centric organization... they are oppressive, overly profit-focused, and the oligopoly of the airline industry enables it. Great article on Wired about it.
