Hotel is paid for during two weeks of Indoc. You cover your own lodging during the approx 4 weeks of aircraft initial Qual training.

Reason? It’s always been that way because 1) the pilot union doesn’t fight to get it added to the contract, because it doesn’t effect the other 99.69% of pilots, and 2) the company doesn’t feel like it’s preventing them from getting high caliber folks to apply, so why spend the money if they don’t have to.

Where to stay? Hotel or crashpad...depends on how much you can afford. If you don’t bring a car, highly recommend your hotel has shuttle service...the Virginia Ave area is not the safest place to be after dark.
