Any recommendations-?

Southwest?

What about delta? I was contemplating switching too

How are you going to get enough United flights from Dallas to make status consistently though? AA has 90%+ of flights from DFW. That said, I used to be united before moving to Dallas. qualifying is about the same since criteria are pretty much identical; I think intl redemption was slightly easier on united mainly because of better access to alliance partners/direct flights for fewer miles but I have been pleasantly surprised by domestic redemption on AA.

Domestic AA points are excellent. This year AA changed the policy on overseas by adding 1-more Hop in connection. Let’s says DFW-FRA was direct last year with 30k points. Now it’s DFW-AUSTIN-FRA. And if I do search directly from Austin as departing city. It add Dallas or Houston hop. Just mad on them

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
