Delta should be putting all of their new hires up.
Agreed. In order to be competitive Delta needs to handle new hire bennies as they see fit. NH hotels were in TA 2015. I naively hope it was something Delta offered up, not requested by ALPA. Zero negotiating capitol should be expended. 13,000 of us here and generations before had to tough it out as new hires, so sympathy won't abound. It would be nice if new hires had less financial worries, but let's focus on making the "meat" of our careers better.
