Guessing this was recorded on Tuesday instead of yesterday? NOthing on the Marriott major deval.
Yeah we pretty much always record Tuesday evenings
Haha no sweat. Look forward to your guys review on the podcast. Also any chance for a updated “whats in my wallet” discussion for this quarter? Always curious about what and why you guys are carrying what you are at the time.
That is something we can do for sure. I know we post it on the site from time to time but would be good to do on the Podcast too.
I have always thought that cx was overrated since y first flight with them. Never seen an airline so highly reviewed, lauded, and expensive with service that is laughable at best. Have been flying QR ever since, even though service is hit or miss on QR, it at least does not feel purposely belligerent
I thought the service was pretty good – probably too attentive that it got annoying a bit. Glad to know that I am not alone in my thoughts though 🙂
