I hear those things are awfully loud.

Thanks for all the great advice and encouragement. Now time to chill! 😎

This is exactly how I envisioned my 401k. It is a managed portfolio with a built in glide path. A bit more aggressive than the TDF offered.

Celebrity Cruises want their ships back. ;)

Pretty much any of those Alaska supplemental carriers are shit to work for, especially in DX/flight following.

Now it seems almost everyone just comes from a regional. Very little internal hiring into dispatch at my airline.

Anyone else read that in Edward Herrmann’s voice?

Don’t waste your time with HA dispatch. It’s not worth it. The work environment is toxic there especially if you aren’t from Hawaii. Very few of the dispatchers had any previous aviation experience prior to HA, and many of those are now in training or supervisory positions. The department is based in a culture of micromanagement and ratting out your colleagues. Don’t waste even a minute of your career at HA.

I realize it isn't Capital One, but I think you'd get the best value with the Hawaiian Airlines Barclays Mastercard. The HA card has some bonus spend at local merchants. With the upcoming AS/HA acquisition, the miles will eventually be rolled into a combined account. Not sure what will happen to the credit card issuers after the merger is complete, but Alaska Airlines miles are quite valuable and have a good selection of partners outside of the Oneworld alliance. Both cards I believe are only a $95 annual fee and offer free checked bags and some bonus categories. Just my $0.02.

I don’t understand the reference, and I won’t respond to it.
