You into the Toblerone yet?

[Mac]

All over the Spriingli. Paddy would like to apologise for the discrepancy the ground staff made and we’ll be on our way shortly. Looks like Paddy has mugged off the clock makers

Got email confirmation that I’m now at consierge level in aerclub.

Am I correct in assuming the flight upgrade on trans Atlantic is non transferable?

Juggling international travel with family commitments is serious business

I think you can transfer them. You can book a companion ticket and upgrade that.

Where in beautiful Copenhagen are you staying pal? I’d recommend the Admiral, the Sandic down by St Jorgans Lake or anywhere out Gentofte way…

Transatlantic about once every six week since the summer. I’d guess at around 8 to 10 trips next year depending on how projects pan out

[PhattPike]

You’d want to be doing transatlantic to get anywhere with Aer Club really. Piddling little trips over and back to the continent don’t really shift the dial.

Would you be away for a week at a time? Thats a fair bit if travelling. Unbelievably tough if a fella had kids at home

[balbec]

Stick to the camogie pics

Jaysus mate, theres no need for that. That man has childer.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Normally fly on a Sunday and back on a Thursday or Monday to Friday.

Two things are leading to it - firstly the US sites are first to be implemented, focus then switches to Europe in 2020 and secondly the company is in the middle of buy out so there is a hiring freeze and we have a small team in Europe with 2 open reqs we can’t fill due to hiring freeze meaning all out technical guys/programmers are west coast based hence the need to travel - they come to us one month we go to them the following month, then we might meet in an East coast site the following etc to try and get some “sprints” done.

[Julio_Geordio]

Hope you are getting well compensated mate, that sounds horrendous
