It was also mentioned on my recent flights in the USA and Europe on various OW airlines as well. Heck even in pre-boarding announcements at the gates. Really not the publicity you want.
- saryant 10y agoI've flown 25k miles in the last three weeks across 5 countries. Every airline mentioned this. American, Japan Airlines, Dragonair, Cathay Pacific, Etihad, JetBlue and Southwest.
- Archio 10y agoDo you mind if I inquire what your career is? I would love a technology-related job that allows me to travel like that.
- saryant 10y agoMost of that was vacation followed by a week of domestic work travel when I got back.
- csomar 10y agoJust travel. Focusing on travel-related jobs is not a great goal. Focus on highly rewarding work, and pay your fares.
- OkGoDoIt 10y agoI second this. Work trips are very different from personal travel, and much less fun than people assume. A well paying job with generous vacation time (real vacation, not "available via email" vacations) is better, in my opinion.
- simonh 10y agoI had a job that involved a lot of travel back in the day. I worked for a telecoms installing unix workstations and oracle servers for planning radio networks (calculating signal strength per frequency over terrain and subscriber maps). I loved it, but it's not for everyone. Long periods on your own, sometimes in locked-down societies like Saudi Arabia. I ended up playing a _lot_ of Civilization 2. Still I got to go to Tanzania, South Africa, Bangladesh, Japan and lots of countries in Europe and the Middle East and occasionally got to do sight seeing at weekends. Not so great once you're married with kids.
- choicewords 10y agoI wonder if it's too late to short Samsung.
- jentulman 10y agoPun intended?
- willstrafach 10y agoprobably not too late, seeing as an investor suggesting a re-org caused stock to go up on the same day this issue was announced.
- KON_Air 10y agoI bet acquisition department is on fire.
- arrrg 10y agoIt’s the same thing in Europe, Lufthansa, Easyjet, …
- BrandoElFollito 10y agoI did not hear it on my last four flights across Europe with Lufthansa last week.
- arrrg 10y agoHm … I flew pretty much exactly two weeks ago in a couple Airbus A320 every damn airline seems to use to fly across Europe (I flew e.g. Amsterdam to Frankfurt). I wonder if that’s a recent change (to no longer mention the Note) or they just say it on certain flights (which to me would make little sense).
