It depends on your homebase, routes flown, and dollar yield per mile. $50-$60,000 in annual spend seems to be the consensus

Yes. They also give waiver years. Friend had a baby so they only spent half as much. They gave her the status the next year as an exception.

Yep. Agree with BCG. It's just revenue (market adjusted). And so, if you are 1k doing 150k miles and day 20k in revenues, dream on, GS will never happen

@BCG1 is correct, though you can get it with less. It's basically about how profitable you are for the airlines. Around $40-$50k in premium flights is usually the threshold.

Basically lots of First or business fairs. I have never heard of a person getting it with lots of coach. Even a friend who flew coast to coast 45 weeks in a year... no dice.

Most of GS are the travel coordinators for companies. You better believe some partner or internal support staff with your firm is flying GS based on the corporate account with United.

I don't know about "most." There are easily a half dozen consultants of my floor alone with GS.

SM1. Don’t agree. Very true companies with lots of United business get some perks like GS. There is a great google forum on this. Google United global services qualifying status

Thanks all!

Wonder if it’s any easier to requalify the following year than to qualify your first time.

Came to consulting from O&G. Tons of GS in O&G from international rotations. I have it from 1x trans Pacific business class per month

Also not easier to requalify in general, worked with plenty of people that got booted with 40-50k annual soend

That doesn't seem to be the consensus on flytertalk where it seems they think it is easier to requalify vs get it first time.

Hi Fishers,

Wanted a small help,
I recently got an offer from Telstra but in the Offer Letter its written- I am pleased to confirm your new offer of employment with Telstra Global Business Services LLP., an entity within the Telstra Group.

So does it mean that Telstra Services will be providing service to some other client or it provides services to its own product?

like

CCTC: 17
YOE: 8.3

Got 2 offers:
Lucidworks - 33
Boeing - 35(Verbal offer after countered them with lucidworks offer).

Now with freshworks, last round is pending.
Let me know what would be better.

From interview perspective, I enjoyed lucidworks interview as the interviews taken by quality people compared to other two companies. But it is a startup.

Btw, I have been interviewed for 6 rounds in Citrix and waiting to hear from them.
