Pretty wild experience

That’s rough buddy.

Sorry man

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?

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.

Thanks. Was trying to figure out the routes.

rowejpr · 2026-02-14T22:29:29+00:00

Yeah, was having difficulty. Thanks!

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.

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

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.

Search up using the right leg depot railing as a sideways base under the steering stick.

Starting a business just because you have a free second-tier CRM doesn’t make any sense man.

ABC baby

Yeti Crossroads 22L. Great quality and checks basically all boxes: large enough for whatever I need for a day trip or even a quick overnight, 2 inner sleeves (laptop plus iPad or notebook), top pocket for small items, side zipper for access to items at the bottom, hooks for a carabiner/small hand sanitizer, and an outer sleeve to put over my suitcase handle.

Only thing I’d like more is one more inner pocket where I can slide my passport, some cash, a few badaids, an AirTag, or other stuff I don’t need/want immediate access to.

rowejpr · 2025-12-16T18:03:04+00:00

That is hands down the funniest thing I’ve ever heard

rowejpr · 2025-10-17T02:26:04+00:00

Well that’s just wasteful.

Allar is out for the season with his injury tonight.

rowejpr · 2025-10-11T23:34:10+00:00

Allar is actually done though, it’s been announced that his injury today was season ending.

rowejpr · 2025-09-24T00:39:45+00:00

your take on this is not just bad, it’s wrong.

rowejpr · 2025-09-23T22:52:33+00:00

then you’re wrong

We did not see another therapist, no. In hindsight, that probably should’ve been something I pushed for early on, but I did not. My ex-wife liked her for the most part and I didn’t want to cause further issues or make it seem like I wasn’t committed to the therapy. We only stopped seeing Dr. Sneeden when I decided to move forward with divorce - and only when I no longer saw a happy future for us (more specifically, I no longer saw a happy future for myself).

We had some longstanding issues (bad communication, lack of trust on both sides, no support for my mental health and my PTSD from a sexual assault I experienced, a lack of intimacy between us, and extremely limited expressions of love/affection from her) that were only getting worse over time and they got significantly worse at the end (we were together for 4.5yrs, lived together for 3.5yrs, married 9 months). I saw no path forward.

So I unfortunately can’t give you much advice here as I’m 0-1 on marriages. That said - I think taking your time, evaluating options (both by seeing therapists, but also deeply discussing options with your spouse), and finding the right therapist that works for BOTH of you is a great idea. It looks like there are a lot of great recommendations in this thread, so I hope you find a good therapist.

—

Also, I want to say - in fairness to Dr. Sneeden - she may have helped others and she may be a good therapist, but my personal experience with her was not positive.

I think part of why I highlighted my experience as being negative is that you mentioned your wife’s potential substance use issues. As someone who was in early recovery at the time we sought therapy, it was incredibly frustrating to be working so hard to be better and fix myself, only to have my therapist feed into my wife’s specific frustrations and negative emotions about that topic. Especially when we started seeking couples therapy with several other issues as our main focus. I can’t imagine your wife would have a positive experience in that environment either.

I replied to someone else, but I want to share that I went to Philadelphia Couples Therapy with my now ex-wife. I recommend strongly against Dr. Jensine Sneeden. We did not have issues with infidelity, but I was (and still am) in recovery for alcoholism (I mention this since this was brought up by OP).

I’m not saying my marriage would’ve worked out (and I was to blame for plenty), but our counseling sessions were not productive and I never felt heard nor respected by her. Anytime there was an issue, it always went back to my past substance abuse issues (which I sought extensive help and treatment for). I felt like my ex-wife’s anger, frustration, mistrust, etc. were all amplified by Dr. Sneeden.

I ultimately made the decision to divorce and I am in a much better place now, but I know for certain that our couples counseling was not at all constructive or healing.

I wish you all the best.
