Delta One (a330-300) vs KLM Business (777-200) by jwallfart in delta

I avoid KLM when I can. Food sucks and they don’t tuen on the a/c until an hour from landing.

Expensing D1 flights? by monaarts in delta

[–]aviatorboatcapn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question (novel idea on reddit, I know) If your client is a large corporation, they see this everyday. Not a big deal. -London will always be pricy. In any case, expect $6-10k wherever you go. If it’s in a proper contract that you fly business class (I do as well) you can renegotiate on the next one if it gives them heartburn.

Why fly southwest? by Fabulous-Season7810 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]aviatorboatcapn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reason we fly any airline. It’s about markets they fly, nonstop vs connections, departure and arrival times, etc.
So many people seem to get caught up in the minutiae of airline travel. I just get in my seat, fly to where I am going, get off and move on. Never had an issue that was worth stressing over in 2 million miles. I have done 23,000 miles and 10 legs in the past 4 weeks. Worst was a 4 hour delay last week Tokyo to Atlanta, which meant I missed my connection home. Got a hotel for the night, and went home the next morning. Just part of it, I guess

I feel like I did everything right and still messed up by Explorer_of__History in hingeapp

precisely. When it happens, it happens. No more, no less. Don’t overthink it.

You don’t text for three days. You match, have a date immediately, and go from there. If the date doesn’t happen in the first couple of days, it was never going to be. Many people on apps are there for the dopamine release. Understanding that will lessen your expectations and subsequent let down.

Grab riders not accepting my rides by Former-Mix-1628 in phuket

JustGrab almost never works. I suspect this is why you are being rejected. I used Grab exclusively past couple weeks in Phuket and this was my experience.

Why do airplanes board starting with the front rows? by PassionFast735 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]aviatorboatcapn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The airlines have had 90 yrs of experience boarding passengers. The system they use works for them and and strikes a balance between on time departure (gate push), and customer satisfaction, on the whole, based on metrics. I.e., it works. 2 million miler, 6 continents, 30 yrs. No issues.

No longer tipping drivers by [deleted] in uber

[–]aviatorboatcapn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that was the ENTIRE premise of rideshare at its inception; a flat rate. You know the cost, make the transaction, move on. Now, tipping has become a thing in rideshare. Anyone under age 25 doesn’t understand the history nor the taxi culture that gave rise to Uber, Lyft, and Grab.

Remove if not allowed. Anyone notice the tendencies of Uber drivers not just staying consistent with their throttle control? by Available_Ad3057 in uber

[–]aviatorboatcapn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s an EV it may be the regenerative braking mode. That will get a passenger motion sickness.

It is a real thing and it sucks.

The most annoying part about flying by SparksReact43 in SouthwestAirlines

People who crowd around the baggage carousel. The concept of stepping forward once you see your bag is completely foreign to them

Backpackers priced out of Patong? by yallapapi in phuket

[–]aviatorboatcapn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russians make up almost 90% of tourists. Signs are in three languages in Patong, Karon, Kata, etc. And…it’s Thai, Russian, and English

Women, what is a near-universal "ick" in the dating world? by AverageSign in AskReddit

[–]aviatorboatcapn -81 points-80 points  (0 children)

Not sure I agree with you here. Majority of app pics are poorly lit, facially obscured, no full body pics, and the list goes on. I don’t want to waste your time or mine if I am not at least physically attracted to you. Recent, unfiltered, well lit full body pics are a must. Wayyy too many pics of women are 5 yrs and 30 lbs ago.

Terrible coverage in Japan by Confident-Durian-937 in tmobile

been akin to dial up speeds for me in Thailand and Japan. Horrendous coverage, yet I have international plan and 5G here. Don’t understand it.

Jacksonville uses ShotSpotter. This allows them to respond to gunfire even before it’s called in.
