FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

CM In addition to smiling, stand-up. It's amazing how much more energy you have standing up and you'll notice that you're able to think much faster. Also, write down 3 - 5 "key points" that you want to stress during the interview. That way, if you freeze, just revert to talking about the key things you want the interviewer to know about you.

I also make a point to speak about existing / emerging trends and challenges within the industry, then have a listing of those trends and challenges (the follow-up Q seems to come fairly often). ;)

Good luck with the interview, CM! ^

I think I may have found a silver lining to the DEQM fiasco. At least I'll be earning LFM's at a 2x clip for the next few months. My IAH-AMS-EWR-IAH in three weeks will put me over 700K.

Im seriously considering LHR-EWR-HKG-EWR-LHR and getting to 800 K Lifetime

IIRC, :rolleyes:v has already passed 700K. I'd like to hit 1MM by 30, but I don't think that's realistic. Probably by late 2011 or early 2012.

Are you going to TPA, or TPA & ONT? :D

Just TPA for some spring training games.

So far, I have fallen short on BD mileage earning opportunities. For the year, I only have about 18k planned and they're all coming during the honeymoon.

Great rate; too bad it isn't particularly convenient to being in Washington, DC. Staying out at Dulles sucks if you actually want to be in DC proper for eating/drinking. I suppose if they have a car and a designated driver it isn't as bad, but the ride out the Dulles toll road in the middle of the night is annoying.

Sounds like there may be a small market for a day spa near the airport :D

This is one reason why I am thinking about taking a long distance trip.

I find it interesting that a local SIN news organization decided to use a shot of IAH Terminal C in their story about all the airlines losing money.

The Strait times always talks about SQ , im surprised they did not mention them .

Yes. Just make sure you know what you're talking about.

There's nothing that :rolleyes:'s more when people tell me what my business challenges are and completely whiff. And, even if they hit it, they're only telling me something I already know.

There is a time and a place and a way to do this to demonstrate you have a firm grasp of what's going on. If you're confident you can nail it, go for it. But, this doesn't come without risk. And :rolleyes:. Always :rolleyes:.

With taxes it's likely $309 (IIRC, MEX adds about $100 in Tax/fees). Still, a decent deal to a great place.
