Pretty much. This happened at numerous regionals in 2008. We saw hotels in training, pay in training increase, and signing bonuses. I'm at a regional that doesn't provide hotel during training and from talking to pilots, I know it adversely effects the the recruiting, but that is apples to oranges.
Delta won't have to increase new-hire qol for a very long time.
