How many airline pilots have you personally known throughout your entire career (not anecdotally) who actually got fired for doing something? That's a stupid way to measure anything in this industry.
0 points for your snarky response which wasn't needed. Just sharing some info you may not have been aware of. Sorry for intruding. Keep earning those stereotypes over there. Lol.
I didn’t intend for that to come across as snarky at all. It’s a fair question. Has any pilot ever been fired, disciplined, or even approached by management based on data collected at this “corporate prison”? Your view of it is overly paranoid, IMHO.
I wouldn’t go downstairs to the bar at the company-owned hotel, get plastered, and act like a frat boy while harrassing FAs all night. That behavior would get you in equal trouble at a company-contracted hotel. I simply don’t subscribe to the theory that a company-owned hotel adds additional risk to a pilot’s career.
FWIW, our primary training hotel in ATL is already 100% contracted out to Delta. Delta corporate security monitors the property and all individuals entering/exiting. It’s not much different from the AA property in terms of “corporate surveillance”. The main difference is that it looks like a Motel 6 in comparison to the AA hotel.
