Job-Hunting reach-out to VC from previous fundraising effort for own startup
I have e-mail archive from 1y ago of my reach-out to 65 VCs in London: we had video calls, they might remember me still, who knows.
I want to send a reply/forward message to the same e-mail thread from abc@gmail.com, saying that I am looking for roles within their VC firm. Is that a good idea?
Or shall I just start new email thread and mention how I know them?

If you are flying at peak biz times (M am, Th pm), biz probably sells out on paid tickets
Upgraded weekly as a 1K. Routes vary between NRT, HKG, CDG, LHR and PVG.
Almost never upgraded. I'm 1k through a match from AA EP. As much as I hated AA, at least I always get an upgrade there
1K here out of ORD. I legit had one upgrade in two years flying hub to hub
Mini is usually an upgrade. Denver and Seattle also sometimes. Almost always upgraded on non-businsss time flights, aka fly not Monday morning or Thursday afternoon
I hit about 60% our of ORD. Hub to hub (particularly certain hubs like SFO, EWR) can be tough, particularly if you travel regular consultant flying times. Too much competition
I don't think United believes in domestic upgrades out of ORD. I'm often #1 on the list though
United offers intnl upgrades?! Does AA?
M1, how do you get CPU on international routes as a 1K? Are these using GPU or paid upgrades?
They sometime upgrade for free on international. It depends on the route, your status, how much you pay...
Weekly on all those routes seems highly unlikely
Even as a lowly Silver, I'm frequently upgraded flying to/from MSP on UA. Probably because I choose flights that have more open seats in 1st Class. Flying non-mainline routes probably will increase your chances.
