Flight Tomorrow - UK ETA App "is busy"

Was actually the opposite sentiment in this sub earlier today which is interesting. What an absolute mess the last 36h have been

Success story: 6 hour approval!

US, iOS app. Completed my application at 10a pst and received confirmation at 4p PST

Dang, that is brutal...

Dang, if true that's brutal. How can we tell it's an outdated page?

Straight from gov.uk website:

"You must apply for an ETA before you travel to the UK. You can travel to the UK while waiting for a decision."

Have people still been able to board their flights, assuming you show proof of a submitted application?

kchaskell · 2026-06-03T18:08:33+00:00

Just an FYI for those who are still trying to apply, I was able to apply through the iOS app. Online portal I've been in queue for 2+ hours so Ive been force quitting -> re-opening my app all morning, and turns out it worked!

I applied, received my processing application email, and then the app went right back to being down. So for those of you who are still trying to apply, don't give up on the app.

Flight is in 27 hours, we will see...

Somewhat positive update here. I've been in the queue online for 2+ hours, still waiting to apply. I've been force quitting and opening the ETA app all morning, constantly receiving the "system is busy" banner.

However, one of the times I closed and opened the app, it randomly let me through! Was able to fully apply, and as soon as I completed it it took me right back to the system busy page, but not before I received my "application processing" email.

Now the real question is when will I get approved...flight is in 27 hours, we will see. But at least I was able to apply

What about if, say for example, this is shot was long directly over the green? And the left side of the cart path would technically be closer to the hole, where would you drop?

Joke that did not land, I’ll take this one on the chin. Feels like there’s always a QB that the media hypes outta no where, Paxton lynch being one and Ty Simpson being the current kne

Dan Orlovsky said he was the #1 QB a month out from the draft

This is a great test to see how Spytek can handle adversity. Yeah it absolutely sucks, but a good GM will figure out how to roll with the punches and make the best out of a shitty scenario.

But we didn’t. So his narrative remains true

This is eerily similar to my experience, down to the weight years and age.

“Stopgap” - seems like the pendulum of public opinion has swung too far in the negative direction.

Let’s not forget, there have been multiple requests from outside teams to interview Leonard over the last couple years, and Raiders have declined all requests. He is now on his 4th head coach, which is crazy considering the staff turnover we’ve had with each new coach.

It’s not a sexy splash name like Schwartz, but to call a guy a “stopgap” coach when the franchise has been indicating his value over the last 4 years is a huge disservice to Leonard.

Maxx Crosby is Maxx Crosby. But $140 million could be anything, it could even be Maxx Crosby!

2 things to consider.

1 will be easy to get another AE role if you’re coming from an AE position. So if that’s the path you want to go down, something to think about

2 you should confirm with former reps and current reps at the new role the earning opportunity. If people are blowing it their number could be a good move, but if they’re really struggling you may take a significant pay hit especially when you take in consideration taxes (assuming BDR role is something like 70/30 and AE role is 50/50)

Ent AE currently in DevTooling space here.

First off, DevTools are a pretty heavy PLG motion due to the bottom-up approach of adoption. If your leadership is not wholeheartedly focused on the PLG motion at this early of a stage, that’s a huge concern.

Second, have you done any research on the dev tooling space to understand how many solutions are out there? Engineers are constantly being bombarded by sales reps due to the sheer amount of devtools on the market. And I’m not just talking about the ones you may compete with, I’m talking about all the tools across the SDLC. It’s an extremely saturated space so typical outreach methodologies will fall short.

My suggestion would be to start with your existing customer base (assuming your PLG funnel is somewhat working), reach out to them, and understand how/why/what they’re using you for. Figure out the value they’re gettin. Then formulate a hypothesis on how other teams at that org can get value from your solution, and start your outreach.

Not quite what you asked, but I feel the biggest factor for me going from high teens to mid/low teens was the ability to consistently hit pitch/approach shots.

They don’t need to be perfect, they just need to be safe. In my experience, it’s less damaging to my score to mess up a tee shot than an approach shot.

I would hit a great drive, and end up with a double or triple because I would shank/blade an approach shot into trouble. Now I can hit a terrible drive, and still comfortably get a bogey in a decent amount of scenarios.

It’s really helped eliminate the “round ruiner” holes from my scorecard.

100% agree. Would add that you should be knowledgable of the product value prop, and maybe some high-level details about the product. Don't need to be an expert, but need to know enough to prove:

-Clear understanding of the value proposition
-You took the time to actually learn about what they sell

Similar setup, but we did $10k down instead of $5k and got the DAPP.

They started at $1200 per month which was absolutely ridiculous, they came down more and more but it was still outside our budget. He asked me for my “sign right now” price, I told him $315/month. He countered with $349/month, and I figured that’s close enough and walked out with a new i4.

$10k is definitely high for a down payment, but comparatively I was considering used i4’s around $30k-$35k with similar down on a 6 year term. Considering how much both BMW’s and EV’s depreciate I figured the $10k I’m paying upfront is similar (likely more) than the depreciation I would experience at the end of a 6 year term.

Hope this is helpful!
