United 1k , booked M fare. 4 people upgraded before me and I am now number 3 on the upgrades list for a flight that has 12 seats in business. On the bright side, it's almost time to go back home!

1k here, flight today has 20 first class seats. 24 hours ago 9 were open and no upgrades processed. The blatant fishing for business fares is just another reminder that our status is worthless

How do you get to pick fare class ? Any options in the travel portal ? All the best for the upgrade

You can look at the fare class you are buying by clicking fare details. No way to choose fare class though.

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per

recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
