Paying for your own lodging during training at Delta and paying for it here are two different animals. Have you compared training pay at the two? Have you considered that at Delta it is a one time investment in a place where you can legitimately spend three plus decades and recoup your cost within the first year? Have you considered that Delta may not be the norm, when most other mainline carriers provide lodging during training? The only other one I'm aware of that doesn't is Frontier.
