Downtown is not safe at night by yourself. I had three guys follow me for a block and ask if I was selling weed. The homeless people constantly ask us for money.
I want people coming in behind me to know what to expect to make their adjustment easier, or maybe they'll have some ideas on how to improve things.
I feel bad for whoever has the responsibility of figuring out how to house 100 trainees because of how difficult that must be.
Hampton Inn would be awesome because the one Hampton down here is next to a super Walmart, 20 chain type restaurants and it's only ten minutes from the airport.
I talked to the BW manager on my way home Friday. She said that they are the main hotel now for training but they have to skip every 3rd or so class because of our sizes. Right now it seems they put that class into the overnight hotel at the Crowne. She said that PSA is in talks with the Hampton Inn behind them to take some of the load. They are very happy to get the contract. The only issue is that it will cause headache with commuters as room avaiablity is very low or nonexistent.
If your at the BW try to go over and have a beer at the Clarion. It's cheap and those guys miss us. The bar staff are really nice and accommodating.
There is no bag lunch at BW as they have no kitchen. Yes it was a nice perk but I also came from another airline which didn't do that, so I didn't mind either way.
