This has something to do with the Kate Upton pics.

DH crews from ATL to cover flying elsewhere, I think that's actually the plan. They might be under deadheading, to which they may want to cut DTW staffing to get deadheading up to the norm. [/sarcasm]

The new hire coordinator, BB, initially thought those costs were covered, then was embarrassed to point out several days later that it wasn't, and it's a cheap thing to do to cash-strapped folks who are already dipping into investments due to pay cuts from training pay and first year pay.
New hires don't get to vote on contracts, so they don't get a say in how they should get treated. It behooves us to vote to treat them like family, not someone to take advantage of. I am willing to negotiate for it.
I was at the senior level in the military chain and I did not have the attitude of "screw the guys at the bottom, I got mine". I did not ask my righteous self, "what was I thinking?"
Grand slam Elvis. I wish we'd end this Pay for Training
Hotel policy or PFTH.
What's funny, I remember being one of the first new hire groups at Coex that didn't pay for training and we got our hotels paid for. Guys were ****ed! I guess they still wanted PFT?
Anyways, when I was instructing in college the University had a policy that said undergrad = undergrad so we cannot pay an undergrad CFI teaching students to fly anymore than we pay the undergrad hungover putting books up at the library... on the wrong shelves. So minimum wage it was for several years. Now they're multiple multiple times higher, which begs the question, should I be happy they fixed that or mad that they fixed that? I'm going with happy.
