You all get points now? For a while I amazed stays like it was my job… and had like 0 points lol.

Yeah, like was said, super hotel specific. I got em mostly from my other job(s), and also just traveling for fun, since I almost always forget that they exist and never use them. At least the vast majority. I got airline miles/bongo bucks though!!! Thats straight from the company since I rarely buy tickets on our metal anymore (not that I wouldn't, just don't need to, or we don't go there)

Ah nice. Corporate here so I get points, booked on my Hilton/Marriott cards and reimbursed, so get all the bonuses etc.

Yep, corporate card travel was the •. Especially when they didn't really GAF what I spent. Slightly different than corporate *flying* in nature, but I imagine the perks are largely the same.

Probably… I mean we also chase a boat around the world, and now have a sudden increased travel load to the ME joking- but yeah same idea.

Oh I've been out of that game since I left said boat at the end of 2019. But I do like chasing boat hotties. I remember that cruise, we were all crowded into the one hotel in Duqm Oman (because ironically our admiral was afraid to go through the straits to normal ports like Dubai/bahrain because of Iranian "aggression" under trump 1.0/John Bolton, before trump completely abandoned being hard on Iran), and this ships company ordie (I recognized her from the ships store line) was in her swimsuit from the pool at the hotel bar, and holy god was she not a stereotypical ordie. I wish whomever she found that night, fair weather and following seas

I'm not on here much as I'm on LTD (with/was Spirit). I am/was 20% on the senority list. I thought similarly to you as to my stability at a shrinking company. I could not leave because of being on LTD, that being said if I was not on LTD I would have at least put my apps out and tried to leave. I completely understand where you are coming from I too was hoping for a transactional event up until the end, but alas, no matter what your seniority is when they shut the doors it's finite.. I too have about 13 years left in my career. I had hoped once done with my medical event to return to flying (at spirit) until I retire. I am not saying this to be pessimistic but perhaps throwing out apps never hurts. My wife once told me you don't have a decision to make until you have a decision to make. Throw your apps out and see what happens. You are not that different than me from one week ago other than being on LTD.

So how does that work when you’re on LTD? Do you get to stay on LTD? Or did you get an end date?

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I was on LTD for 18 months, mostly because the FAA is insanely slow at processing literally everything.
