P.B.,
If you know this to be fact, that they aren't addressing the no hotels for new hires during training, then I stand corrected. Your post sounded like an assumption, and I reacted to that. Many people post unsubstantiated options on here, without bothering to even try to look up the facts, and it irks me. I will have to look into this. I will read the TA (whenever we get one), in its entirety in order to assess how close we are to something aggreable, but there are many issues that will garner an instant no vote from me. Not adequately addressing first year compensation is one of them. If we aren't asking for paid hotels during new hire training, then first year pay needs to be at least equal to Delta's. $70/hr won't cut it! $70/hr is already below industry standard, but no hotel during new hire training on top of that isn't even in the same ballpark!
