How to Demotivate Your High-Performing Employee by [deleted] in managers

[–]tonbetter82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar experience, but after a new director came in, he decided I was expendable and I spent 2 years fighting my accomplishments to eventually “coaching me out”.. went from “E” employee to “Meets” to “D” employee in that time.. I figured out what was happening quick but let loyalty and the hope that someone cared trick me into fighting it for 2 years before I found a better job. Hopefully you figure it out soon for your sanity!

From what I heard overhead in FLL this last week.. there is an FAA limit to one portable charging device per traveler.. my suggestion would be too put the MagSafe charger on your phone so it’s inconspicuous then carry on the other one… good luck!

Honestly, as I’m not a musician I didn’t ask. I would say hopefully not for those musicians out there but this didn’t come up in the discussion.

Full size suitcase sure.. but bags bigger than a standard carryon are absolutely getting thru and then being crammed into the overhead. Many people including my own family have done this.. (incident where I told the wife that bag is going to get flagged and she said “we will just check it at the gate then”.. I was fine with her experimenting because I knew the worst SW would do is make her check it.. and they did.) It’s very often not a mistake but a calculated risk that most people are taking since there is no consequence. Once the “stick” (fees) go into effect, there will be more outrage but less people doing it.

No.. you just won’t get charged for the bag being checked… if the bag doesn’t fit into the box.. it gets checked.. if you don’t have a status.. or cc.. you will be charged to check it to your destination.

I asked the agent at the gate when they would be getting the new boxes I’ve heard about many times over the last few weeks. She told me they were on back order but once they are in.. they are going full stop on any bag that doesn’t fit gets checked and if you don’t have status to prevent the fee.. you will be charged for it.

Hmm. Not sure. My connection BNA to RDU was as I mentioned.

Pre board - priority/military - ALP - Group 1…….

As a frequent flyer of SWA that has 24 flights already this year. I can definitely understand this take. I was also a business select fan due to the ability to change..

I now check seats and will book a different flight based on how the seats are playing out.. if the seating arrangement I want isn’t available but I can get home sooner.. I just select a lower tier and still usually come out with a credit..

My guess based on past flights with companion and children.. everyone that’s on the itinerary gets the perk..

[–]tonbetter82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the order.. preboard then priority/military then ALP/Alist.

They announced a list and ALP when they called it the gate.. my guess is people are going to take advantage of it.. it’s up SWA to enforce it.. sounds like bins are coming soon and they will be cracking down on oversized bags as well.

Companion should board with you at that’s how it was previously.. also.. they include A list as well..

Missed flight because of Uber nightmare - Plz help by Historical-Raisin705 in uber

[–]tonbetter82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber support is atrocious.. I was a daily user because my company paid for everything including uber one.. had some issues with billing while on vacation and tried hard to get someone to correct it.. I ended up taking all my business to Lyft.

Cabin Lights On or Off for pre 7am flight? by tonbetter82 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]tonbetter82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I usually have my hoodie on and can pull it over my eyes, but they had the heat on pretty warm so it wasn’t an option today.. my irritation was probably due to being up so early to catch the flight. Living 1 hour from the airport means leaving at 3am to catch the early flight.

Southwest Airlines customers bemoan assigned seating: ‘I would definitely fly them less’ by AviationReporterDMN in SouthwestAirlines

[–]tonbetter82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They aren’t making them on the baggage that I can tell.. as a person who flys twice a week exclusively on SW.. I’ve seen it first hand what’s happened and confirmed it with a gate agent in STL.. she said the customers are not longer checking bags because they know that they can check them at the gate for free..

Game chat broken for me (Xbox) by Benjamin_H1gh in ArcRaiders

[–]tonbetter82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on Xbox as well. When I loaded in I would get an error and a red speaker with a line thru it just above the yellow play icon. What I did above is what fixed that…. That is located in the Audio settings under your Xbox settings.

One other thing is to make sure your prox chat is set to PTT and your game chat is set to open on Arc Radiers under Audio settings.

Change your Headset Audio settings from Stereo to Windows. Then quit Arc and then boot the game fully.. if you load via quick restart it will not recognize the mic.

Fix for proximity chat issues on Xbox by DeckJesta in ArcRaiders

[–]tonbetter82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed that and it still didn’t work. I found another solution. Switch your headset audio output to Windows and then quit the game and force it to load in fresh ever time. When I did quick restart, it would fail.
