Where has this "no guest" thing been posted? Or is it just word of mouth rumor passed around?
This whole thing has me aggravated. Having the wife come visit a few times for a day or two during initial training was a nice change. Sure beat jumpseating home during the longer breaks during the sim and was like a mini-vacation for her. Also, what good is a common kitchen with shared refrigerators? Inflight and AO/GO will be stealing your food before you can even eat it... if you can get a ride to a store to buy it in the first place.
This whole "togetherness" thing might be great for inflight and the ops people, but I say leave it to them and let us stay where we had been. I can handle 3 days for recurrent, but when I eventually go to the bus or upgrade the lodge alone is enough to make me not looking forward to training.
