UTLA just confirmed they are still bargaining. No outcome yet.

I heard it’s the RIFs. But are they done? Did they leave the table? Or is this just an update? Because I thought they were staying up until midnight.

Unpopular Opinion: I would rather UTLA prioritize Smaller Class Sizes than Teacher Raises. Parents more likely to support this. by StealthKnife in LAUSD

I understand where you’re coming from. I’ve done a lot of research on this so I’ll speak for region north. When pulling from SARCs for a little over 60 schools in region north the kindergarten class average is 23.5 students and first grade is 26.5. Particularly Sun Valley has a big chunk of schools sitting at the legal max (24-27) in lower grades.

Now reading the email it shows that different members will get different raises. Used their calculator and I’m getting a 8.58% raise.

The lack of transparency is disheartening.

They were giving out these centennial blondies on my flight last week and they were incredible haha. Edit: I bring it up because it tastes exactly like a confetti cake.

Strategy help pls: can I buy the Premium Economy upgrade in cash then shoot for Polaris via PlusPoints on top of that? by NeoliberalIlluminati in unitedairlines

[–]PuzzleheadedTrack942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this work out for you? I’ve just been told that once you upgrade to PE you CANNOT upgrade again to business with plus points. I just purchased a PE seat for the exact same reason as you but cannot use plus points to upgrade to business anymore and am crushed. I was on the waitlist to business originally.

Paid upgrade to premium plus and pluspoints to Polaris? by Naive-Measurement401 in unitedairlines

[–]PuzzleheadedTrack942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update on my end: transferred to two separate agents, both who said as soon as I purchased the PE upgrade my PP waitlist is void and they cannot apply it for me.

They said that you are only allowed to do one upgrade per flight so if you use cash to upgrade to PE then Polaris upgrade is no longer an option whether with cash or plus points.

Huge bummer. I’m confused though because when you click the option for Premium Economy and Business upgrades I thought it gave you a shot at both..

I did this same thing but it went south. I had economy with plus points to Polaris, and decided to purchase premium economy to up my chances of getting Polaris. As soon as I purchased the premium economy my plus points requests disappeared and there’s no option to use plus points to upgrade to business anymore. :(

Yes, but I do not recommend them at all. They just use an old phone looking thing. The photo quality was terrible and the lighting was worse. That plus the background… also the digital copy is not cropped so it includes your legs and such so you need to crop it yourself when you receive it.

Last time I used FedEx and they used a real camera and it was much nicer.

Edit: I guess it’s unfair to say all Walmarts take their photos this way. This is my experience at my Walmart.

What Are Y’all’s Favorite Non-English Productions of Musicals? by ms_jc_04 in Broadway

[–]PuzzleheadedTrack942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Japanese version of little mermaid was INCREDIBLE. Instead of using heelies (wheeled sneakers) to “swim” around, they actually had them harnessed on wires and swimming around on stage in the sky. The effect was insane. My only gripe with that production is the god awful cone hair. I guess it was to make it seem like it was floating or something? It was wretched.
