All the US airlines suck. AA miles are better than delta

Nearly everyone thinks their airline sucks. Just consider what you’re giving up (status) to start over somewhere else

#neverAA

Being NYC based you’ll limit your options of nonstops at least out of LGA. AA has a great JFK operation if you don’t mind the extra distance from the city, but still IMHO DL has a dominance on the NYC airports in terms of destinations covered with NS

AA has terrible award availability. Delta is operationally ranked the highest including technology.

WORST DECISION!!

I'm doing the opposite. Switching from AA to delta. Much better service/experience, loyalty close enough. SPG member too. When you fly this much it's all about the service and AA is brutal (and international partners)

I love southwest. No first class, but with the companion pass and crazy amount of miles earned my husband and I won’t be paying for flights for the foreseeable future.

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

For anyone that moved to the US a bit later in life (early 30s), do you feel like you are financially behind retirement now by United States standards?

My home country offers free health care, education, affordable living etc and now i’m in the US the only way I think I’ll ever catch up for retirement is by making Partner salary one day but still living like I’m on a Manager salary to save.

Plus on a visa we cannot have other income. This is going to be a long game of catch up.

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled. Does yours say to wait 90 days to rebook and were you able to book immediately on the 91st day? Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.
