Detroit was the better option so I made the change a few months ago and now I am very happy. Everyone has that chance. That’s all I’m saying!

So suck it up for a couple years. The 350 went to 11,500. So anyone in the company right now who is 11,500 and higher can no longer complain about NB trips, right?

I’m not NYC 320, but my mentees are….it’s called empathy.
‘Just get more senior’…did they give you credit for writing the QCQ slide?
