Very new to consulting and only flew a week so don’t have any status or miles :( I have a family member traveling on an American flight and would love for them to get an upgrade if possible. I was wondering if anyone with a status is able to give a systemwide upgrade. I will very much appreciate it, and be grateful. Thank you people.

Huh

You can’t upgrade basic economy tickets

Only if the person with elite status is on the flight. I spent several hours fighting AA on applying a SWU to a BE ticket for my sister and they wouldn’t budge. The website makes it seem like I could. You also can’t upfare BE tickets, they’re locked in

I’m going to be making an exit soon to a company that’s working hard to recruit me in. I’m in an AE position. I’d be forfeiting $18k in RSUs vesting, President’s club, and $200k+ in pipeline if I do move. I’m inclined to leave because this would be a step up in a role and I really like the team.

My question is: is it reasonable to ask for a $40k sign on bonus to account for what I’m leaving here? How do you go about negotiating that?
