Trans States should be providing hotels through the completion of OE with 75 hour guarantee and per diem. That should be standard across the board.
Totally agree and I'm guessing RamRod is somewhere in that area that it SHOULD be that way across the board, but it isn't. It isn't a TSA specific problem. That's what he is getting at. People are making it sound like we are scum of the industry because there is no per diem in training and you may have to pay for a hotel on IOE. You make more in training here than you do at XJET. At least you are paid while waiting for IOE here. So why isn't everyone over on that forum ripping on their training pay?
The reality is Compass, up until very recently, was making new hires pay for their own lodging during training on training pay. Yet, people weren't ripping on them and considering leaving due to having to pay for lodging, but because it is Trans States and TSA is apparently trash in others' eyes it's a major foul. That's the part that some of us don't get. It's "fine" for other carriers to do it, but it's like we are the only place in the industry that has ****ty training pay.
It looks like, from the outside, that everyone is trying like hell to try and make this growth look like it's not real or a scam. It is what you see, and the reality is it's going to happen. Just because some dude is on here *****ing about training pay and how he told his buddy that training pay sucks isn't going to change that fact.
