Yes, the pay can be better. Personally, I'd rather stay at a hotel, but staying at the Lodge hardly made me or others unhappy.
Well...good for you and the other content newbies. I would need a daily break away from anything 'blue'. One of the best descriptions I've heard of the lodge is that it's "as if JB vomited all over the place". Plus, I wouldn't want to live with the potential of being watched by company moles at any given moment.
I stand by my comments that the pay is pathetic. The company will say that they can't raise the pay because of paragraph 3A in some pilot's PEA's. The fact is they got around 3A by offering a retention bonus after 1 year of $6,000. Then, the company took the bonus away (1/1/15) and cut the pay to $2,000/mo. Again, the company spin will say that newbies actually get more due to the $26/day to spend in the cafeteria. Not everybody wants to eat cafeteria food for 6 weeks, however.
