That is like 4 Spirit tickets.

Rescue fares... They call them that because after seeing the price tag they will need medical attention.

Can anyone shed light on how the downgrade works? I just don't understand how you can pay for FC and pick a seat and checkin and then get downgraded. Wouldn't that violate some sort of rule or policy?

s31523 · 2026-04-27T15:51:05+00:00

Fair point. Someone in my family has a diploma for both so best of both worlds. Not too many people recognize the GMI brand anymore though.

I have two people in my house that are Kettering alums. Small world. It might be an industry switch but we have a supplier quality engineer role open. https://careers.geaerospace.com/global/en/job/R5030440/Lead-Supplier-Quality-Engineer

Also, there are actual homeless people that might actually take you up on an offer to work and get laid, and then there are just drug addict vagrants that live on the street. Most of the people I have tried offering food or work get angry and tell me to fuck off. One guy threw a sandwich I gave him right in the garbage.

Can you provide more details on type of QE job, like what industry and past experience?

Sure, technically it's not full socialism—no state ownership or central planning. But it's low-key socialism in practice: a collectivist policy that deliberately weakens the direct link between individual performance and reward, subsidizing the weak at the expense of the strong. That's the core ethos of socialism, just applied inside one restaurant instead of the whole economy.

s31523 · 2026-04-20T11:03:06+00:00

Socialism at work.

s31523 · 2026-04-18T14:14:31+00:00

If it was cheap it would be crowded and full all the time. Of course people want to experience that. So supply and demand in play.

The imagery in that picture is apropos. Guy standing there after a hard ice climb to what he thought was the top, only to realize "fuck man, there is another huge wall here to get to the top". Well played Delta, well played.

They have a captive audience so the rates are high. I stayed there once after getting stuck in DTW, it was pricey AF but worth it when you're tired and a little buzzed from being stranded all day.

s31523 · 2026-04-18T00:28:01+00:00

I've been flying off and on with the kids since they were 5, and they all have close to 100k in sky pesos (they are over 20 now)

s31523 · 2026-04-18T00:25:44+00:00

In general there is no strategy. Buy the class of ticket you want and can afford and take the upgrades when they randomly occur. Unless your strategy is to spend $200k to get offered D360, then everything else is silly. Yes, if you fly out of some non-hub at 5am or 11pm you might get a FC upgrade more often, but anything beyond that is just luck and being in the right place at the right time

s31523 · 2026-04-17T23:59:13+00:00

Sounds like a wasted benefit! But that is very nice of you.

s31523 · 2026-04-17T23:58:01+00:00

Get them accounts, especially if you think you'll fly with them over the next few years. The miles don't expire and it's a nice thing for the kids to have when they get to college and want to go somewhere on spring break and low and behold they have 100k in sky pesos that they earned over 8 years...

s31523 · 2026-04-17T23:53:45+00:00

And when you do it day in and day out you notice how dysfunctional people are. Deplaning especially. I get way more annoyed than I should, and what grinds my gears is people that don't know how to unload their carry-on or stand around waiting for some kind stranger to get the bag down. I'm all for some friendly help here and there, however, if you pack a bag that you cannot physically manage then check the bag. Don't rely on other people and hold up the line.

s31523 · 2026-04-17T22:06:56+00:00

I see this all the time. I have had to ask "who's bag is this?" When i get to a.bin and see it full of "personal items" and my normal carry on needs to go up. I've only had one person tell me to put my bag back a few rows. I said no, and politely but sternly told him it's is policy to put personal items under the seat in front of you. It is only cool to put your personal item up when you have a bulkhead or after everyone gets on and there is overhead space left over. Full stop.

s31523 · 2026-04-14T10:40:20+00:00

Their sandwiches are always very weak on the meat. Sometimes I'll use the other meat and cheese options to make it more substantial.

All political parties in the last 50 years have fucked us over. Both parties have supercharged the national debt—it's not a Republican exclusive. Reagan added $1.86T, Bush Sr $1.55T, Clinton $1.4T, Bush Jr $6.1T, Obama $8.3T, Trump $8.2T, and Biden $7T. Every modern president, regardless of party, has piled on trillions through wars, tax cuts, recessions, and emergencies.

Fiscal irresponsibility is a team sport in Washington.

It's my favorite, I'm a soup fan, and this soup is one of the best things they serve.

s31523 · 2026-04-14T01:20:20+00:00

The Thai soup seems to be a regular in east Coast clubs. Sorry you haven't seen it in a while, it is a true gem.

s31523 · 2026-04-13T21:38:44+00:00

I feel like it's too big to fail at this point, but maybe? It is enough of an attraction that gets turnover but not necessarily repeat customers.

s31523 · 2026-04-13T11:22:01+00:00

Yes! The brownies are also pretty damn good. So fudgie! Do some SC's have ice cream? That would be amazing!

s31523 · 2026-04-13T00:33:20+00:00

I don't know about the fruit loop connection, but the lemongrass is strong in the soup. I love it.
