You have a good point here, when people are lined up out the door why would Compass need to pay more or offer a hotel during training? Apparently they are getting plenty of qualified applicants. At my past regional airline job a hotel was provided during training along with per diem and a reserve equivalent guarantee so not all regionals are this way. The issue right now is that so few companies are hiring and most people on the street can't afford to be too picky. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. Best of luck to both of you.
