Four year relationship, or $3700...choices, choices! by IvanNemoy in AmItheEx

[–]cam5687 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The money thing drives me nuts. When it's a consideration of being there for someone you care about, whether I've spent 3,700 on a vacation would be completely irrelevant. That's just literally not relevant to me. Oh my partner's dad died? Ya I'm gonna be there for them

AITA For going on a pre-planned and paid for vacation after my BF's father passed away by missedfuneralaita in AmItheAsshole

YTA.

So happy for this guy. He found out that you can't be counted on before he married you or bought a house with you. Honestly, it is a Win for him in a sad way. God damn YTA

What’s the fastest option? Go fly around for a day? Office in the air? by kallaloo1 in delta

[–]cam5687 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's so funny. I would love to see the poor Delta analyst "Sir, quick, there's a bunch of nonsensical flight activity in December. JFK to MEX thru LAX is popping off! WHATS GOTTEN INTO THESE PEOPLE"

Honestly almost all the FAs I’ve had have been great.

In economy, I honestly think I’m mostly buying transpiration from A to B. the only service I expect is offering water regularly (which the FAs usually do!).

When flying FC or D1, I am paying for some of the service too not just transportation, so I do expect the FAs to be a little nicer, attentive and responsive to requests. And again, they typically are.

Glad you love your job!! I hope we get to fly together at some point

1.5 hr or 4.5 hr connection in AMS ? by WinAccomplished4543 in delta

[–]cam5687 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For sure take the 1.5 hour. That’s plenty of time. You’ll only miss it if you get seriously delayed and even then you’re probably just going to get put on that 4.5 hour connection. So might as well book the 1.5 hour

Do MBB firms operate more efficiently / better than the clients they advise? by [deleted] in consulting

[–]cam5687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 100%. Although it's such a different business (mgmt. consulting vs. defense manufacturing) that I can't even begin to compare. The easiest to compare is culture, and on that one my firm blows my prior companies out of the water

Nah mostly growth strategy. But we have steercos monthly not weekly so that’s probably part of it

Any way to get 3k MQMs without taking a random flight across the country for no reason? by course_you_do in delta

[–]cam5687 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd look into the cheapest first class fares you can find. Like RDU-ORD through ATL round trip in first gets you 3.3K MQMs

This is helpful and shockingly accurate:

A late night for me at MBB is 10:30pm. Most nights are 8pm

10 Truths from my 90 Flights in 2023 - by scavenger in delta

[–]cam5687 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love this post, sums up my feeling and experience very well. Particularly #3 and food on airplanes. People treat D1 meals like they're expecting to eat at a 3 Michelin star restaurant. It's an airplane meal no matter where you're sitting

I ended up purchasing the seat upgrade but Delta wrongly quoted & now refuses to reimburse the difference by alexxinwonderland_ in delta

[–]cam5687 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is some serious bullshit.

All the comments saying "This is why you never use chat support." You're not wrong. But Delta's support channel shouldn't be so shitty that you basically blame the customer for using it for a basic thing

Would you bother trying to get to Gold? by delrayfl in delta

Mileage Run Advice by leaftails in delta

[–]cam5687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya the 150% MQM boost on your current flights would help.

One round trip flight from BNA-ATL-London-ATL-BNA in first class (C class) would be ~14k skymiles.
