To summarize, my experience has left me with serious concerns about Arik’s leadership style, his treatment of employees, and the overall workplace culture at Etihad.

@Ben
Qatar Airways has 90 Boeing 777-9s on order not 60 as you mentioned in this article. That order was raised from 60 to 90 aircraft when they ordered 150 Boeing 787-9/10 Dreamliners. They also have an order for 34 Boeing 777-8 Freighters.

I don't think there *are* any rules with Bilt. It's been improvisation the entire time.

Replied to the topic Considering The Bilt Palladium Card? Here's Why You Should Apply Soon...
yeah. I was with bilt through the last iteration (from wf to cardless) and between the overly-complex earning scheme to the lack of consistent customer support have led me to put this in the sock drawer.

Lucky, authorized user cards (Platinum and Gold) both get their own GE credit. Check the terms again (you need to attempt to add additional members to your Platinum card to see the terms) and you'll see this explicitly written.
