Was at a big firm for most of my career, traveling weekly. Was platinum for a moment in 2017 on AA, United and Delta at the same time. Then in 2018 I switch to a small, minimal travel firm when my first child was born. And today, when checking into my flight, it finally happened… I lost my status… I’m just a member for the first time in over a decade. Pour one out for me gents, catch me in boarding group 3 😢

Now I may be the last to board Delta flights but my kid hugs me first before anyone else when he sees me, I’m not complaining

Same boat here… I’d say the whole status thing is more vanity than anything. I don’t mind paying for an extra bag or seat upgrade if I can have a wholesome life where I live.

I was 1k and diamond on other airlines when I left consulting and my kids were young. Now I am back and working my way back from the bottom.

Don’t regret leaving and the time I spend outside but also glad to be back.

My united 1k was great on the occasional trip with my family to breeze through baggage check, but earning it wasn’t worth the lifestyle cost. Also, I missed out on 1k in 2022 by 1600 pqp, so this is pure cope/delusion.

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area.

Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??
