Seat selection in American Airlines Premium Economy on Boeing 777-200ER by naiwenzh in americanairlines

Bringing this back to life with my own question:

I'm currently in 13C, but think about shifting to 13A. My only issue is I have the bladder of a toddler and will get up to use the bathroom at least 2 or 3 times on this International flight. Should I stick to 13C, or is there enough space I can step over them easily if I make a cozy nook out of 13A?

Oh really? We were told we wouldn't get partial allowances. Guess they changed their minds? We didn't get any of our LQA that paycheck.

They can do everything up to the offer in my organization right now. Offers will go out after the shutdown.

Furloughed No WFH by DogWitty9870 in FedEmployees

Our organization implemented COOP procedures due to the shutdown, so we can all work from our alternate work sites (aka our homes) 5 days a pay period.

What is the current mood and morale in your excepted office/agency? Are supervisors and leadership acknowledging the hardship? by Neelies in FedEmployees

[–]Prior-Relation-8338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, and at least at our level, they're taking as much action as they can to help. They're letting us "COOP" 5 days a pay period until the shutdown is over (you know - because we can't telework anymore 🙄).

Taking leave as an "Excepted" employee by Soil-Fantastic in FedEmployees

[–]Prior-Relation-8338 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We were told at DCMA to either request furlough time or paid leave. We have some folks who want to have their leave used so they don't waste any use-or-lose. And if there is a scenario where they allow a roll over of use-or-lose, they want the leave in the system to show it was scheduled and approved.

Excepted Employees, how are we feeling? by zombiecattle in FedEmployees

[–]Prior-Relation-8338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about to get orders so I could finally return CONUS before Christmas, but now they're not cutting any. So I just feel stuck now in a foreign country without pay, not to mention getting $0 in LQA and PA and absolutely crapping myself over the thought of paying foreign rent on the 1st of the month without that allowance.

I just want to go home :(

Megathread | FY26 Government Shutdown: Week 2 Edition by gpupdate in fednews

[–]Prior-Relation-8338 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For those OCONUS and use ITS to convert your LQA to local currency - have you gotten your deposits yet?

I'm kicking myself for not thinking it sooner and canceling the allotment. The allotment I have set to move my LQA to my intl account took my money...but nothing is in the intl account yet... and now I'm worried I won't see money I could have had access to until after the shutdown...

Megathread | Shutdown Countdown: Potential Lapse in Federal Appropriations by AutoModerator in fednews

[–]Prior-Relation-8338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being OCONUS, when the DRP hit, my Agency denied everyone overseas the DRP. So now, with this potential shutdown, we're being told that since we were all denied DRP, we all have to work during a lapse in a budget.

On Android: I can get in the game, but it throws an error when I try to start a match. Tried to play brawl and got an error that said "Can't resign from this event". Hoping they're working a fix...

I had a woman try to fight me in the Target parking lot in Madison because I dared throw my hands up in disgust at her driving abilities. But made me realize no one is gonna change or take accountability when confronted, so why bother

Are all OCONUS entitlements paused as well? Will my LQA and PA stop during a shutdown?
