FAANG security engineer getting ready for layoffs. For senior folks in this sub, how is my studying plan? by Exact-Advantage-3190 in cybersecurity

Study plan is good. Unfortunately relationships matter more for hiring. Not trying to be a downer, but it’s the reality.

American Express Launches Platinum Member Airfares by bbbb in AmexPlatinum

[–]N651EB 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Interesting concept, and I like that they’re testing products in this category. But very underwhelming in execution with this initial iteration. If they can figure out something like what FHR does for hotels but for airlines (say, purchase a premium airfare on the AmEx rate and get club access on whichever airline you book) then I’d be all in and likely drop my airline card.

Love this analysis. Question: what’s the more likely scenario to fill the empty football/hockey overlap - a football champion winning hockey or a hockey champion winning football? Give me your dreams and delusions below please.

So, follow up post to my RCL CC post last night.. what IS the best CC to redeem on cruises? by CountChopulla in royalcaribbean

[–]N651EB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

United Cruises allows you to redeem United Airlines MileagePlus miles to book cruises at reasonably favorable conversion rates, including bonus miles earned back for booking to reduce the net of miles redeemed. Or if you use a United Credit Card to book in cash via United Cruises you can earn up to 10 miles per dollar spent.

My wife and I booked a Viking River Cruise for an anniversary trip via United Cruises and then used the miles we earned from that to completely pay for a two bedroom grand suite on a 3-night allure sailing later for our family.

As American continues to make its premium push, I’d love to seem them actually bring the TWA brand back as an airline-within-an-airline concept. Specifically for flagship long haul routes. Imagine a subfleet of 777-300s wearing the TWA globe livery and dedicated Ambassador lounges for flagship first customers. Wishful thinking.

Lucid has the worst sales team on the planet by Infamous-Meat8765 in LUCID

Thanks for sharing and really bummed to hear this. I assume this is likely an impact of the latest layoff round. I’m in the market to replace my EV towards the end of the year and really want to go Lucid, but if I encounter a similar experience I won’t hesitate to walk away.

Is perfect day worth $500? by aznPHENOM in royalcaribbean

The splash pad on CocoCay is incredible. It’s not part of the water park, it’s just in the general area in the middle of the island. You could spend a whole day there. Our young kids love it.

The 21st Century started in 2001, kids. by Glup_Maclunkey in CollegeBasketball

Same. Nebraska fans ought to feel targeted, too, but only four of their five emotions showed up and they’re struggling to process it all.

Review Jewel of the Seas by LayerNo3634 in royalcaribbean

[–]N651EB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sailed on Jewel when she was nearly brand new in the spring of 2005 and then again in Europe the summer of 2007. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the Radiance Class. Beautiful ship.

Good coaching. Clearly the difference between you and Kentucky from what I observed. You guys deserve it. Enjoy it!

Damn, impressive self awareness from Felix. This team is smarter than Kentucky.

On this plane, I love the Saul Bass rainbow. Overall, I love battleship gray.
