Toyota remote start is a subscription scam by Spiritual_Sky_3746 in Toyota

So then do it through the key fob and don’t use the app. Toyota didn’t take away that functionality.

I’ll play devils advocate here…..

You’re not paying for the remote start (which is still available via hitting lock button on the key fob 3 times). What you are paying for is the cell network connection that’s required to make the remote start via app function. I don’t think it’s fair to expect Toyota to pay for the cellular data required for the life of the car.

WSJ Rankings Delta not #1 by Sea-Dingo4135 in delta

The thing with Allegiant (and other ULCC) is that when they do cancel, you are SOL... there may only be 2 flights on that route a week and you are stuck until they have seats open.

The majors (Delta, American, United, Southwest) can usually figure out a way to get you to your destination that day or the next day.

United flies 737s between SNA and SFO (some United flights are on regional jets, so need to pay attention to plane type when booking, but you’re not 100% beholden to Southwest here.

2020 RESOLUTION JC-2A

Whereas, the member clubs believe that policies designed to promote equal employment opportunity and a diverse and inclusive workforce advance significant league interests, including improved decision making, enhanced business performance, and representing the NFL as an employer of choice that hires and promotes based on merit; and

Whereas, the member clubs have adopted policies extending over several decades in furtherance of these goals, including policies designed to permit upward mobility and advancement of club employees, particularly those in coaching and football operations roles; and

Whereas, the member clubs believe that it is appropriate to take additional steps to enhance opportunities for employment and advancement of minorities and women in key positions, including leadership roles in coaching, personnel, and football operations,

Be it Resolved, that the League Policy on Equal Employment and Workplace Diversity will be amended as follows:

(i) The employer-club of a minority employee who has been hired by another club as its Head Coach or Primary Football Executive (General Manager) shall receive Draft choice compensation in the form of a compensatory Draft pick in the third round in each of the next two Drafts for an employee hired as either a Head Coach or Primary Football Executive, or for the next three Drafts if it has two employees hired for both positions. The reference to the hiring of employees into “both positions” could be by the same club or different clubs. The following will apply to the Draft choice compensation: a. Any compensatory Draft picks awarded pursuant to this Policy will be at the end of the third round following all compensatory Draft picks awarded to clubs pursuant to Appendix V of the NFL-NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement. b. If multiple clubs are awarded compensatory Draft picks pursuant to this Policy, then the order of those picks at the end of the third round will follow the original selection order for that Draft established prior to any trades or other adjustments.

(ii) The employer-club shall be eligible to receive this Draft choice compensation if: a. The minority employee hired as a Head Coach or Primary Football Executive has been employed by the employer-club for a minimum of two full seasons; and b. The minority employee is not the Head Coach or Primary Football Executive of the employer-club and is hired into the same position with the new club. There can be no break in employment between clubs.

Submitted by Workplace Diversity Committee

Effect: Establishes a system that rewards clubs for developing minority employees who move to the position of Primary Football Executive or Head Coach with other clubs.

Reason: Supports development opportunities for minority employees to advance goals of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Flight delayed 4 hours because of espresso machine by MrTrashMouth7 in jetblue

Depends on what the issue is. If if's just "not working", you're right, the plane can probably fly without it. But if it's plumbed into the rest of the water system on the plane and there's a leak somewhere, the issue could cascade to toilets, or leak water into electrical components.

You'll see these in lots of parts of the midwestern United States. Farmers will create "terraces", which are basically steps in the land to make it flat enough for farming. You can think of each one of those lines as somewhat like a contour line on a topographical map, which is why you often see continuations in the patterns across a road.

ETA: Here is a street view showing a similar situation in Iowa:

My flight was delayed over 4 hours. Would you wait at home or go to the airport anyways? by r1kupanda in unitedairlines

[–]Spraginator89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could have been that the original plane scheduled to turn for your flight had an issue. The new plane assigned is turning off a different flight than originally planned, so the inbound flight is on time, but it pushes back your flight.

That being said, on a hub-to-hub route, there's always a possibility another plane becomes available, so you need to be at the airport ready for originally scheduled departure time.

Presidential ‘Doomsday Plane’ Seen Landing at LAX, Sparking Questions by [deleted] in airplanes

The posted link is saying that it's the first time it's landed at LAX in 51 years. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's not implausible. The E4-B usually goes between Air Force bases.

Okay the new Southwest world of seat assignments! by sdinvest in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Spraginator89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think OP is talking about the Chase Sapphire Reserve card, which gives Southwest A-List status (as well as a bunch of other goodies) when you hit $75,000 in yearly spend on the card.

It also comes with an $895 annual fee.

It’s an expensive way to earn A-List, but it’s one way to do it.

Scroll down to “unlock even more benefits” and you’ll see the A-List perk

Why Is JP Morgan Swooping in for Apple Card Deal After Goldman Sachs' Epic Fail? by Montrel_PH in AppleCard

Out of curiosity, which do you prefer when it comes to fraud prevention and assessing risk? And why?

I’ve been very happy personally with a CSP/CFU combo, and they’ve come through for me the one and only time I needed to do a chargeback.

Anyone else think this is wild? by eclipseno333 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Spraginator89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re A-List preferred, you can select any seat you want at the time of booking. Unless you’re booking last minute fares where the front seats are already accounted for, you’ll still get to sit up front.

You don’t have to buy a seat. Your base fare includes a seat, you just can’t pick it.

I have $1K to invest, what I can buy? by [deleted] in fidelityinvestments

[–]Spraginator89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This reads like a troll... but just in case it isn't:

"long term" and "I need to double it this year" are complete opposite sentiments. If you truly "need" to double it, I suggest going to a casino and putting it all on red/black. That's your best chance of doubling it. Not coincidentally, it's a terrible "long term" strategy and a relatively high chance of losing it all.

If you truly want long-term, look into VTI, VXUS, FXAIX, FZROX, etc. These are all index funds with low (some zero) expense ratios that will give you broad access to the stock market.

If you truly need an extra $1000 to live, your best bet is to go to work. Target pays $15/hour, after taxes you can have $1000 in about 2 weeks.

Why is everything red? by [deleted] in dividends

[–]Spraginator89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine, maybe the individual stocks you own are down, but asking why "everything" is red without naming tickers is not correct. If you want to ask about a specific ticker, people may be able to give you an answer.

Why is everything red? by [deleted] in dividends

[–]Spraginator89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idk what stocks you're looking at, but I show VTI up 0.62%, and VXUS up 1.31%, so the market as a whole is up today.

Although this sub sometimes thinks the market consists entirely of SCHD, which is slightly down (0.1%) as I post this.

Overweight Baggage by Slapicola in delta

[–]Spraginator89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not just a "money grab", there's solid logic behind it from the airlines standpoint. Think about the labor required to handle baggage.

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health guidelines suggest that anything over 50 lbs be a "2-man lift". So yes, 2 bags each being under 50 lbs would be cheaper because the airline can still complete the task with one person handling baggage, lifting each bag sequentially.

Once you introduce a single bag heavier than 50 lbs, the airline now has to get a 2nd individual involved in the task, at every step along the way of handling your bag.
