You'd think someone in the industry would have picked up on this kind of thing by now. It's very easy to differentiate in this market because they all suck so bad

In my mind United wins with boarding. Lining up by zone makes the world of difference

like

The airlines used to pride themselves on who could be the best, now they just try to not be the worst.

So. This is hands down the worst boarding experience I’ve ever had (reminding me why I fly United). 40 mins and counting and we’re still not all on. It’s pathetic

like

One of those times I am grateful to be in the military. I took full advantage of boarding first and avoid that mess.

like

Currently waiting in line for these jokers to send a bunch of people out of the plane because there are a bunch of people in the plane with bags, but no space to put them.

United gets it

Boarding is heavily dependent on the gate agent. Sometimes they are pro’s, and other times you get really unhelpful, unfriendly sass

Random question for anyone who has ever exchanged/gotten a replacement away travel suitcase. Is there any flexibility to get a different color? My interior zipper broke and I stopped in a store to ask if they do repairs and they said to bring it in and they’ll just replace it. I wouldn’t hate switching the color but feel weird asking for some reason

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
