Most new hires like the facility because they just don't know better. It's not a knock on them, they just don't know. They also don't know how well we used to be treated with dinner at Sonny's, family coming for orientation and/or any time they wanted, and the freedom to relax outside of the BlueJuice OSC environment.
I stayed at the Residence Inn and it was the best training experience of any of the several airlines I've worked for.
Your previous post stated my thoughts far more eloquently than I did! It's not being a negative Nellie stating your opinion on how the experience has changed!
I'm glad recent newhires are enjoying their lodge experience, in the meantime I'm lighting candles that my transition training hotel will not be there. FWIW the company had informally told ALPA that no transition or upgrade events will be housed at the Lodge..
