If you think about whan an appeal is, it's a challenge to a ruling or order or verdict in a lower court. In essence, you're asking a higher court to overturn or reverse that lower court's order. So when the appellate court states that the decision will be affirmed, it is rejecting your request to overturn that lower court's order. So the lower court's order remains in tact.
Driving: Lyft. If there is a holiday then don't bank on it until Thursday though (like next week). Lyft claims that the payday is Friday, but payments begin processing on Tuesday. Some weeks it is delayed until Thursday. Aug 27, 2014. #3.
When I signed up, Lyft was running a promotion guaranteeing new drivers that they'd make at least $1,500 per week if they worked 50 hours and served 50 passengers. That works out to an average compensation of $30 per passenger, which was a little crazy since I didn't have a single passenger who paid more than $25.
