Fuck United Airlines... - colin Aug 9, 11:23 18
- It's probably the fare code that got you. Were you on a partner? - spamlet Aug 9, 11:29 6
  - yep, Singapore Airlines. -- nm - colin Aug 9, 11:35
  - Even more insidious (with UA) is that mileage accrual always is determined by operating carrier, not ticketed carrier. - ty97 Aug 9, 11:32
  - Here's the fare chart for Singapore Air. If you still have your tickets, you can see the fare code to check to see if it is on the list. -- (link) - spamlet Aug 9, 11:30 3
    - Yep, missed it on all but the leg out. And there's no way to choose it when you book, that I know of. -- nm - colin Aug 9, 11:36 2
      - Well, there is but you're not going to get the cheapest rate. -- nm - spamlet Aug 9, 11:37 1
        
        this is true. hopefully when i do get to use the united miles, i'll actually get something worthwhile! :) -- nm - colin Aug 9, 11:37
- Did you fly on a United plane or a United partner? What fare class did you book? -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 11:28 10
  - Economy, which I know is a crapshoot. H gets it, Y and Q get the screw. - colin Aug 9, 11:38 8
    - Yeah, it sucks. I neurotically check fare classes when booking -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 11:47 7
      - i'm new to this game.. never traveled so much for a job before. -- nm - colin Aug 9, 11:53 6
        
        I remember when I started. It is a surprisingly large amount of information to learn. - ty97 Aug 9, 12:03 5
        
        Yup. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, I can send you some links. I've learned a lot. - spamlet Aug 9, 12:30
        
        thanks. hotels, i book exclusively marriott and that's worked really well :) -- nm - colin Aug 9, 12:13 3
        
        You have the card, right? The card is actually pretty good for Marriott if you can be loyal. - spamlet Aug 9, 12:28 2
        
        oh, a visa? -- nm - colin Aug 9, 12:37 1
        
        Yup. I have the Visa Signature but I'm not 100% sure they all are. - spamlet Aug 9, 12:39

bbing tru: can he say "I need to take leave immediately for personal reasons" and starting using 2 weeks, 'oh and btw, here's my resignation" - zeitgeist Aug 9, 11:11 3
- I have 39ish days, i could take the next month off, but i doubt that would fly. -- nm - Truman Aug 9, 11:14 1
  - once you are on your 2 weeks, then send notice of resignation, they would be required to give the next 20, that's 34 total or most of it - zeitgeist Aug 9, 11:18
- I would take the two weeks, then just never return. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 11:11
seriously. kick their asses. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 9, 11:04 3
- nmbM - Spawn Aug 9, 11:05 2

    - it was a bad contract. He was a good player for half his salary. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 11:19
