    From what I’ve seen, there is no participation in this group. What am I missing?

    It appears to me that retirees are participating in the Facebook groups rather than here. I am not retired but was looking to exchange ideas and questions with others who are recently retired or thinking about it. Unfortunately, from what I’ve seen the Facebook group discussions focus on handling the bureaucracy of post-retirement rather than planning for retirement.

    Why is there nothing “NEW” in this Bulletin Board – Everything I see is 7 months or Older… Did i just waste $20

    There should be standard Topics Established to keep everything together – For Example – Employee Discounts OR Rental Cars (Avis) and
    maybe Enterprise ….

    How about – Where have you travelled to in the USA and then in Europe.

    Fredric – I cannot be certain, however I suspect that most members of the ARR use social media, specifically FACEBOOK, to gather information. I DO however like your idea of “established topics”, specifically the non-Raytheon benefits that you isted, as topics that all members would benefit from having in an organized format.

    This may help but you will probably have to tell “avis” that Sikorsky is a division of ratheon …. Now RTX of course

I believe I qualify for the RTX-AVIS rental program due to the following aspect of the program documented at: RTX Frequently Asked Questions | Avis Rent a Car https://www.avis.com/en/bridge/corp/utc/faq Who can rent a car at AVIS under the RTX contract? The rates and discounts in the Avis Contract include persons, who at the time of vehicle rental are: • RTX employees with a valid driver’s license and are at least 18 years of age. • The legally married spouse of a RTX employee with a valid driver’s license and are at least 18 years of age.

    The Raytheon Corporate code for Avis (aka AWD – Avis Worldwide Discount) is A551101. If A551101 does not work, try B920505. The two different Raytheon Corporate code numbers are associated with Pratt & Whitney or Missile Systems Division. Validated. For some reason, Avis doesn’t want to hear that company name is RTX or Raytheon. They want to hear the above to names. If you are prompted for a company email address, you can enter: retired@raytheon.com. Further information can be obtained by contacting RTX travel: Andrew Slaiby (andrew.slaiby@rtx.com or Colleen Kearney (colleen.kearney@rtx.com

    thanks in advance,

    Your name /address

    I have never been asked for a RTN ID – usually rent in Boston – don’t wait in line in the front – go out back to the left and your name should be on the electronic board….
