So...
You arrive and your housing accommodations are not set up. You spend the night in a hotel and get reimbursed for your travel and housing plus you make out ~$80. Sure you are not given the refund in cashey money, but you are spending the money anyways for your training.

I think there is a difference between doing ANYTHING for a certificate, rating or even a job, and that of being flexible. Accommodations did not work out... that can happen in any field for any reason. It doesn't mean that just because the oil change place lost your appointment that the auto mechanic's union is to blame

To me it sounds like you are using this as an excuse to complain about this industry and all the things wrong with it. I don't deny your complaints are valid, I just don't see what the price of milk has to do with North Korea's missile initiatives...

But hey, what do I know? I am just a CFI too. I am sorry to hear about your frustrations and the problems this caused. But can't part of it just be blamed on "that's life and these things happen"?
