Will be 11K short of Delta Platinum. Mileage run recommended or not worth it? I live in a non- Delta hub and will have reduced travel next year.

11k will be expensive. Think about best case scenario as MQMs costing $.11 or so. This would be two round trips from NY to SF or so.

I hit my $ requirement. So a long inexpensive flight will do.

I don’t think it’s worth it if have reduced travel next year and didn’t travel enough to hit platinum this year.

I’m pretty torn on whether I want to take an offer for an internal role or not…
The job itself sounds pretty interesting. Lots of opportunity for growth (eventually will build out a team).

My only concern is the hiring manager. I talked to someone in my network who has worked with him in the past and she told me that she would 100% work with him again bc she learned a lot, but that he has a very dominant personality and that some ppl can butt heads with him.
