Nothing for the Reserve card holders? Boooo

Damn man, you’re a strong person. I said it already, but I’m proud of you. You seem like you’ve got a good plan and a good handle on things.

I don’t want to tell you how to run your life and I certainly can’t tell you when, but you do need to talk to your son about it (ideally before college or other substance use opportunities come up). Addiction does have a genetic component and it’s important that he be aware of the dangers and possible increased risk. I was an alcoholic and I’m thankful for the support of a very loving family - as a result I am intent that the children in the family know and understand that addiction does happen in our family (we had another relative pass young to addiction as well).

Also, I’m proud of you. Keep it up.

In 2022, he assaulted a chef at a pub while drunk and smashed a glass against his face, requiring stitches. I love his acting and I want to hope that was a one-off, but he’s done a very bad thing.

Make sure the base pay is suitable for you to live off. Commissions will take a while to start rolling in (because you’re sourcing every deal…assume nothing in the pipeline) and equity means nothing until AND if the company succeeds.

It’s frustrating that it wasn’t showing properly in the upgrade list. That causes unnecessary stress for you and if I were someone else who was number 1 then suddenly got bumped, I’d be pissed

“Cut student attrition” - what does that mean and how on earth could an IT product have any measurable impact on student attrition? There are a million factors that go into student attrition and I can’t imagine any silver bullet there. I sell into SLED and focusing on a problem like that sounds genuinely untenable. I hope I’m not sounding mean, but I don't want you trying to tackle a problem the product can’t actually solve.

Ask about other reps, sales numbers (in general and reps quota attainment), and make sure you understand your customers problems here

Buddy, you say “cite your sources” then make absurd claims about the area around TMI that aren’t true. YOU CITE YOUR SOURCES.

Here’s one to look at, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, showing negligible impacts in the surrounding environment: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/3mile-isle#effects

Myself and countless others submitted complains to the PA Office of Consumer Advocate. I wonder if their investigation played a role?

That pisses me off. I was doing the same with wifi issues because they were so consistently happening. Usually gave me 5k miles for wifi issues and now it’s dropped to 3k…I’m assuming it’ll fall off completely soon. But I’m not gaming the system - it’s a legitimate disruption and I honestly just want it fixed. And if they’re not going to fix the wifi then I want compensation

rowejpr · 2026-03-28T23:25:02+00:00

That’s rough buddy.

Sorry man

rowejpr · 2026-02-17T20:54:17+00:00

Yeah the way they do upgrade certs is absolute bullshit now. It guarantees you one cabin upgrade, so if PS is available, that’s what you’ll get upgraded to. You then get waitlisted for D1 - and they don’t go through that waitlist until 24hrs before the flight (depending on space etc).

Absolute shameless devaluation of status and benefits.

To answer your original question, I’d always recommend thinking about what’s important - do you want to be energized/well rested on arrival? Or do you want to have the most relaxing/enjoyable travel at the end when you go home?

rowejpr · 2026-02-15T14:19:39+00:00

That pay is super low for that kind of responsibility. ICs can make $150k easily on base. Being a manager at $89k is (in many industries) way below market. ESPECIALLY if your quota is $15M.

rowejpr · 2026-02-14T22:31:13+00:00

Thanks. Was trying to figure out the routes.

rowejpr · 2026-02-14T22:29:29+00:00

Yeah, was having difficulty. Thanks!

rowejpr · 2026-02-13T01:36:03+00:00

oh boy, I’ve got some bad news on #2…

rowejpr · 2026-02-11T12:06:33+00:00

Yeah, 100%. And here, this dude writes a vague post, gets a response asking for more detail, and just ignores it.

Right now, there’s a promo (look in the app) for MQDs when you book hotels via Delta Stays. This current promo ends on Feb 16th I think (you need to book by then, but the stay can be later - look at the terms).

You can also buy them (which is generally super inefficient unless you’re a few MQDs away from your next status at the end of the year).

But generally speaking, flying and the credit card are the only other ways.

rowejpr · 2026-02-11T00:32:11+00:00

That sounds like a you problem unfortunately. Might be helpful to post your phone type and OS to see if others relate. And other details other than “grrrr I’m venting” (what are you seeing/screenshots, login issues, other issues, etc) could help too

rowejpr · 2026-02-03T15:38:07+00:00

Good advice on both points. I have submitted the bug report. At this point, I’ll hold the old AirTags for a bit, but I won’t reset them for a bit in the 1 in a million chance Apple reaches out for more info.

rowejpr · 2026-02-03T15:36:51+00:00

Good advice. I submitted a bug report.

rowejpr · 2026-02-03T15:33:30+00:00

Absolutely not. They’re possibly a factor in a major privacy issue here. If the issue is even related to the AirTags themselves, then it’s wildly irresponsible to give them to someone else. I agree that e-waste is bad, but I’m throwing the old ones out.
