My mistake, the last time I talked to a Mesa guy he said they had to "pay for our own hotel during training". But still, thats 4 weeks more than I had to pay for, but then again, I got lucky. And ExpressJet does not pay for food per se what they do pay you is 8 weeks of per diem while you are in class which worked out to about $30/day to spend as you will. Not much, i know, but better than nothing. All I can say is God bless credit cards.
