Most of the guys getting hired are not SJS flight school instructors. They're FOs from other 121 carriers who have been furloughed or haven't seen movement for the past 6 years at their most previous airline and are threatened with furlough.
That is true. Compass is like a furlough/ex-121 refugee camp. I have quite a few friends that work there, they have all been in 121 for several years before they went to CPZ.
I agree with the lodging, and that the company should pay for it, but as stated already, as long as they have ppl show up, they are not going to change it.
