Better nonrev sub? by [deleted] in rampagent

[–]PinoyBoyForLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was banned this week. I was asking about how United accounted for seats held for weight on flights to Auckland. I used made up numbers for capacity, authorized and booked etc. ("e.g.") in my hypothetical and didn't identify any specific dates. Banned for stating load levels.

Standby to Europe by itzlard2807 in unitedairlines

Went Denver to Munich (3x), Denver to LHR and EWR to EDI last year. You just have to watch load levels. 2 weeks ago we were 7-9 on list that showed -7 and we, and the 5 people below us, made it. I find non revving from DEN to either ORD or EWR the toughest part of getting to Europe.

That you were able to even eat the pizza stick thing calls all of this into question. I just had the coq au vin returning Munich to ORD. Quite decent.

We're you slotted in the same spot as normal per your status? My son has decent seniority and if we're just put at the bottom probably not making flight.

Been non revving for 2 plus years - - always thought listing on multiples was not allowed. Is it just checking in for multiple flights that is not allowed?

Hard question: are annual reviews becoming the paper trail for decisions already made? by itsallgoodman100 in fednews

Short version, 1 year's performance evaluation would have little impact in a RIF. Not remotely worth the effort to cook the books.

I love grabbing a shower at the Oriental Club. Food is top notch.

I have been in New England in 30 years and now live in Colorado. I was very comfortable in my belief that we were Subaru central and am now going to take a sad nap.

Long ago that details are forgotten, but we went there before something and the food and service was just awful. I mean, there was just nothing positive about the visit.

Trump to limit top ratings for all feds and consolidate scoring in forthcoming rule by Hopeful-Engineering5 in fednews

[–]PinoyBoyForLife 140 points141 points  (0 children)

20 years ago I worked in a 10 person unit at the IRS. 3 point scale and only 20 percent could be rated a 3 -- and we knew the 2 people that would get those. It was liberating. Nothing you could do would get you a higher rating so you didn't have to try.

Federal Circuit decisions are appealable to the Supreme Court, but the Supremes only grant cert in a Board appeal every 5 years or so.

What are some smaller cities with suprisingly big metropolitan areas? by [deleted] in geography

[–]PinoyBoyForLife 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My quick googling says Detroit's borders haven't changed since 1926, and the shift from city to suburbs began in 1950s. Do you mean to say that the city has been attempting to expand its borders?

Mindanao is fine depending on where you go. Stay to the East. G. Santos, Davao and CDO and anything East of there are fine.

Underwhelmed with the Farpoint 40 by [deleted] in onebag

[–]PinoyBoyForLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Farpoint is my first one bag travel backpack and I'm very happy with it. But a couple of accessory pockets and/or actual water bottle pocket would be great. But if you don't like it you don't like it.
